To The Publisher: 

"The Birth of the Next Nation," gives the origin of 
the present war from a prophetical point of view. It starts 
with the Democratic Commonwealth of Israel nearly thirty- 
five hundred years ago, and ends with the Reign of William 
II Rex of Germany as the last of the Belshazzar-Hohen- 
zollern line of Kings and as the last mile-post of Gentile 
Dominion. It is a history of Kingcraft from the time of 
that disobedient cry for a king in the time of the Judges of 
Israel, to the present cry from the different nations of the 
earth, as the voice of God in prophecy, for the world to be 
made safe for Democracy again. As a history of prophecy, 
it is verified from a political point of view, just as Von 
Bernhardi, from a military one, or Roland G. Usher from 
a commercial one, apprehended this present war some years 
before it commenced. Of necessity herein are found causes 
which led to the formation of the German Empire in 1871 
and to its destruction in 191 8. 

Only in this case we have the sure word of prophecy 
verified by history for the times and the dividing of times 
of all the national events, not only for the rise and fall of 
that empire, but also for the ending of the Jubilee Cycles, 
in 1925 ; that the Restoration of Israel may be followed by 
the birth of an International Freedom beginning at that time. 

It was sometime after thrones began to fall and dynas- 
ties change to republics that we began our work. Then with 
a steady looking ahead, we wrote away until William The 
Last accommodated a distracted world by leaving his throne 
and fleeing into the wilderness. This ended Daniel's Seven 
Times prophecy of 2,520 years (B.C. 606 — 1915, A. D.). 
It was a verification of Chapter V. written years ago. It

only proves that history will verify prophecy when fulfilled. 
It remains to be seen how correctly all of our interpretations 
have been made. Prophecy itself will stand but criticism may 
change some things, as stated by us, and if kindly given it 
will be thankfully received. We have done our best but if 
our work won't stand fire, let it burn. If in burning up, only 
a little remains worth while, well and good. It takes many 
steps to reach a milestone, as many of them sometimes are 
missteps. If, however, an enemy of prophecy arises to judge 
our work, watch him. If by elaborate disquisitions and 
learned exegetical expositions of the Word, an attempt is 
made to prove that Moses was only a myth, and the other 
prophets all wrong, receive him not. He is but a wandering 
star out of its course in a cloud of darkness. Some preachers 
talk that way too. Neither should you believe them. The 
wicked, it is said, cannot understand anyway.

INTRODUCTION. 

According to prophesy we are living in the last times, 
but the world takes no note of it. It is an old story, a dry 
tale. Nevertheless, the signs of the times are significant. 
Among biblicists current opinion points to some world wide 
change among the governments of the earth soon to take 
place, if nothing more. Thrones are falling, republics are 
coming up, while conflict is waging between democracy and 
absolutism, fierce enough to destroy every dynasty and every 
opposition to personal liberty in existence. The change 
wrought during the past fifty years for the destruction of 
the old regime has produced a change of the ages them- 
selves. It has been a change of authority in both State and 
Church from the autocrat to the individual citizen, regard- 
less of any rights except inalienable ones, nor will that con- 
flict cease until slavery in all its forms, political and other- 
wise, will have been destroyed. 

It is the purpose of this discussion to disclose the cause 
of this change. Outside of prophesy everything in general 
and nothing in particular has originated it. But as verifica- 
tions of prophesy, these things from nothing in particular 
to everything in general throw a flood of light on what 
prophets of old said who spake as the Holy Ghost gave them 
utterance, and that is the theme we are writing about. It 
is about the "Spirit of '76," and the French Revolution, 1789- 
1792, that materialized finally as a divine concept for the 
overthrow for a time of the divine right of kings. 

By this change republics were created not only for the 
destruction of monarchies, and of all forms of autocracy 
in both Church and State, but to guard the Jews in their 

7 



8 INTRODUCTION 

march Zionward. It was also a safeguard that the children 
of Jacob might come into their possessions in Palestine by 
the time appointed in accordance with the Jubilee Cycles. 
To that end thrones have been falling and republics coming 
up, from Paris, France, to Petrograd, Russia, ever since 
Gambetta proclaimed France a republic on September 4th, 
1870, and the end is not yet. 

Those prophesies which originated the Zionist move- 
ment, and also republics for the protection of the Jews until 
their return in 1925 were all in accordance with a provision 
of the Abrahamic covenant that a birth of a new freedom 
might follow the restoration of Israel in that year. 

This present Jewish Age took its initiative from that 
war, in 1870. In accordance with the Jubilee Cycles, it will 
end in 1925. It is the most transitional age in the history 
of the world. As one which marks the end of autocracy, 
it is significant. No prophecy, as yet, has been given to show 
just when Christ will come again, but several prophecies 
do show that this present war was permitted for a grand and 
holy purpose. The world must be made safe for Democracy, 
hence this clearing house of blood becomes necessary. It 
will prepare the way against that time when war will be no 
more, and peace cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. 
Such a condition has already been apprehended by the Signs 
of the Times. The Hague Tribunals have already antici- 
pated it. As a conflict waged for the overthrow and de- 
struction of all forms of autocracy, it is in accordance with 
the Divine Plan of the ages that the birth of an international 
freedom may take place when Gentile Dominion comes to 
an end; and men of old who spake as the Holy Ghost gave 
them utterance have always spoken the truth.

CHAPTER I. 

RESTORATION OF ISRAEL. 

Men are wise when discerning the sky, but not so as 
to things in the heavens. Any school boy almost can tell 
us Mohammed took Constantinople after a seige of fifty- 
three days just fourteen hundred and sixty-three years ago, 
and shot stone balls from a cannon two and a half feet in 
diameter. That the old city was refounded by Constantine 
the Great, in 324, then taken by the Turks in 1453, since 
which time the crescent has been flying from the tall dome 
of St. Sophia. But not many people seem to understand 
that this change from Christian to Moslem rule has in it any 
prophetical significance whatever. 

Constantinople sits at the cross-roads of the European 
and Asiatic continents. She looks into Asia through the 
Bosphorus, and through the Dardanelles into Europe. St. 
Sophia is her citadel. She was built by Justinian the Great 
in 532, as a Christian Cathedral, but transformed into a 
Mohammedan Mosque in 1453. From the time the great 
building was erected she has been looking down on armies 
between Moslems and Christians, and watching war-ships 
in the Golden Horn. For nearly fourteen hundred years 
she has seen many wars before this present one for driving 
the Turks out of Europe, but always meeting defeat. It 
has not yet come into general belief that that great city with 
its seven seas and unparalleled waterways, which links its 
commercial life to every people on the globe, belongs as an 
inheritance to the Jew; that Constantinople has been safely 
guarded under the direction of Providence by the enemies

of the Jew until the time should come for the Jew to take 
possession, after which the balance wheel of power will re- 
vert to the rightful owners, rather than to those nations who 
have been taking stock in the lives of their subjects against 
the time Moslem refuse might be divided up among them- 
selves. 

By an inexorable decree the old Babylonian Empire re- 
cently came under British dominion. The conquest, made 
with hardly the loss of a single man, could not have been 
made before the War of 19 15, without being contested by 
the other nations of Europe, — Germany in particular. Every 
avenue of trade leading to those eastern gates of Palestine 
from Africa or the Orient through the Persian Gulf and 
other ways by sea and land, the same as those of the great 
city of three continents, have been safely guarded for the 
Jew, by an eye that never sleeps. Even the selfish interests 
of every nation in Europe in their attempts to keep the Sick 
Man of Turkey alive by the preservation of the balance of 
power, have been jealously looking after the interests of the 
despised of all races, supposing all the time, it would be only 
for themselves. 

Unclimatic conditions, the same as political ones, have 
also aided the Jew. Until the year of the great Berlin Con- 
gress, in 1878, they prevented attempts of colonization, the 
time not yet having come in the Divine plan of the Ages for 
the children to take up their abode in the land of promise. 
Neither dew nor rain had watered the fields of the Holy 
Land, that the Jew might not come into his possessions be- 
fore the appointed time. Not a spear of grass could be seen 
hardly anywhere before the Congress of the Nations met. 
The earth was dried to its foundation. But at the time ap- 



RESTORATION OF ISRAEL 1 3 

pointed heavy dews and beautiful showers of rain came 
again. The time had now come for a change. The "dis- 
favor" of the old regime, having fulfilled its mission, favor- 
able agricultural conditions returned. Vegetation comes 
forth. The land again blossoms as a rose, and as it did when 
Joshua crossed Jordan. 

Before favors were secured to the Jews by the Con- 
gress of Berlin, no permission was granted them to enter 
Palestine, only on certain political conditions. As a de- 
spised race, they were mistreated, but an over-ruling Prov- 
idence intervened. Not only the Ottoman oppressor becomes 
subject to British rule, but that, too, by a "Dog of a Jew." 
Disraeli, the Premier of England and the Dictator of the 
Berlin Congress, as the Mordecai of his race, secured the 
protectorate over Asiatic Turkey for his government and 
now Palestine itself has become a homeland for the race. It 
follows as a consequence, therefore, that the forts of the 
Dardanelles are to give way to the rule and sway of the 
powers appointed for their downfall, the same as did those 
of the old Babylonian Empire. It is in accord with prophecy 
that the Jews should all be returned to their promised land 
by the year 1925. 

In that day it will not be said, the Lord liveth that 
brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, 
but the Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel 
from the land of the North (Russia) and from all lands 
whither he had driven them. And I will bring them again 
into the land that I gave unto their fathers. Jer. 6: 14-18.

CHAPTER II. 

ORIGIN OF THE PRESENT WAR. 

The German Empire had troubles before it was born. 
It had its conception in the need of a Krupp gun as early 
as the year 1741. At that time strong winds began to blow 
gales over Turkish waters from every part of Europe, and 
from Berlin in particular. 

It was in July of the year above mentioned that the Sick 
Man of Turkey became politically ill. It drew attention 
from all peoples, and all the powers of Europe prescribed 
for the invalid at Constantinople. Germany, England, 
Austria, Russia, Prussia and France knelt at the bedside 
of the Sultan, and all agreed that the only remedy needed 
was a recognition of Moslem rights to a full control of the 
Dardanelles, and the Bosphorus. As long as Turkey was 
in possession of those straights the balance wheel of national 
power was not endangered. 

To make matters sure that the dying Sultan should have 
all rights to the waters that gushed from that outlet, the 
signatory act before mentioned was reaffirmed after the 
Crimean War, on March 30, 1856, and to make it doubly 
sure that no power might steal a march on Constantinople 
and get more than its share on the demise of that potentate, 
the great nations of Europe, for the third time, on July 13, 
1878, set their hands and affixed their seal, the Lord God 
Almighty becoming a silent witness to the transaction, but 
without right of assent or protest. Satan grinned. The 
gods that were grinding his grist would prevent the Resto- 
ration of Israel, he thought. 



l6 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Ever since Abdul Hamid, the beloved, ascended the 
Throne in 1876, the Teutons and the Turks have kept them- 
selves harnessed together in a loving embrace for any and 
all political necessities. It was on the occasion of his as- 
cension to the throne at that time the Sultan professed an 
undying attachment to all foreigners, and gave assurances 
that the flag of his country should float for the protection of 
Christians in particular ; and then forthwith, for the glory of 
his Empire, and for the untramelled right of Moslem rule, he 
proceeded to kill a round million of those he loved best during 
his inglorious reign of only thirty-three years. It was done 
as a pastime, and as a mark of respect to Christians, and 
without a grunt or a groan having been heard from any of the 
powers, and from Germany in particular. 

As soon as Abdul Hamid began formulating glories for 
the Ottoman Empire, Servia felt the effects of it right away. 
She could not pay oppressive taxes without something to eat, 
and as it was one thing or the other, she rebelled in 1877, and 
the war was on. With a mighty resolve their lot was now 
cast for freedom and for a flag of their own. Russia looked 
on at the struggle for a time, then joined with her kinsmen in 
the conflict. At an expense of $125,000,000 Servian free- 
dom was obtained and the right of Russia to sail in and out of 
the Dardanelles whenever she wanted to, with all rights there- 
to, sealed and signed by a treaty at Stefano on June 13, 1878. 

The amazement of the Christian nations interested in 
the Dardanelles was great. With Turkey's decrepitude and 
Russia's possession of the strategic points of the Aegean Sea, 
aided by the Servians, who now had a flag to fly on sea coasts 
of their own, threatened danger to European Turkey. It was 



ORIGIN OF THE PRESENT WAR I7 

plain to be seen that if the other powers of the world wanted 
to have a share in the Moslem refuse when the Turk went 
into a state of inoccuous desuetude, something had better be 
done. 

Accordingly, on July 13, 1878, the Berlin Congress was 
called. The opportunity had now come for Germany and 
Austria to wipe Servia off the map. The Teuton wanted 
right-of-way from Hamburg to the sea, and in the interests 
of the glories of intellectual Germany, its commercialism de- 
manded a sacrifice of Servian freedom, that a way should 
open for them through the Novibazar to Salonika, Pan-Ger- 
manism outweighing all rights of Pan-Servianism. Austro- 
Hungary succeeded in writing into the treaty of Berlin, a 
revocation of Servian liberty, as well as that of the Dardanell- 
ian rights, Turkey transferring to the Dual Monarchy as a 
compensation for her possession restored, the Servian prov- 
inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

Now, the Servians hated the Hapsburg Magyar oppres- 
sors as much as they did the Mohammedans ; but their tyrant 
conquerors wonder with amazement that the brave little Slavs 
who have been fighting for half a century for a Government 
of their own, should want anything else but abject servitude 
under the Roman government of this dual monarchy. 

Since that overt act of taking by force, two of the prov- 
inces of Servia, oppression has done its work. The little 
Slav Kingdom was next threatened by a destruction of its 
religious rights, and then the chain that linked the Greek 
Church under political rule, to Roman sovereignty snapped. 
The final trouble took form four days before Princip fired 
the bullet that killed Frederick the Archduke. 



l8 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

THE VICTIM OF AMBITION. 

Francis Ferdinand, the Archduke, was probably the 
victim of ambition that started the war. He was the center 
of a clerical and military circle which reached beyond Austri- 
an territory, embracing in part the Catholic party of Ger- 
many. As a papist himself, he would reestablish the Holy 
Roman Empire. He was in a position to carry on diplomatic 
(negotiations to that end, being the prince regent and com- 
mander in chief of the Austrian army and navy. As the 
Servians are overwhelmingly Greek Catholic, their alliance 
was more with Russia than with the Roman Catholics of trie 
Dual Monarchy. They hated Catholicism intensely and be- 
cause of an attempt then being made to subject the Churches 
and Schools of Servia to the Dominion of the Church of 
Rome, that hate wrought them into a frenzy of despair. 

THE CONCORDAT. 

On June 24, 19 14, a treaty with Rome was signed, the 
first article of which is as follows : 

"The Catholic Apostolic Roman religion shall be freely 
and publicly exercised in the Realm of Servia." 

This Concordat between the Pope and some of the trai- 
tors to Servia, contained twenty-four articles in all. It was 
the act that resulted in the death of the Archduke, and all 
Europe is now paying for Princip's foolish attempt to destroy 
a hated dynasty by killing its prince. 

The temporal power of the Popes was utterly destroyed 
in 1870. Its attempted resuscitation in 1911, under the 
direction of the Vatican, through prayer and supplication by 



ORIGIN OF THE PRESENT WAR I9 

the faithful the world over, failed of its purpose ; and its 
attempted restoration at this time resulted only in giving Slav- 
Germanism an excuse to destroy Pan-Slavism that Pan-Ger- 
manism might obtain. The inexorable fiat that put that 
Power out of commission, purified the Church spiritually, 
and it can never be reversed. Had not Rome been inspired 
by flesh and blood she would not have attempted its restora- 
tion by a twelve months' supplication in 1911, for God's de- 
crees are irrevocable. 

The spiritual power of the Roman Catholic Church has 
been greatly increased by the abolition of the Temporal Power 
of the Popes ; for the mission of Christ was that of the Spirit, 
not of the sword. But this right of the Church was permitted 
for twelve hundred and sixty years (606-1870 A. D.) that the 
mysterious purposes of God might obtain and until the plan 
of the ages might become fulfilled, as will be explained later. 



CHAPTER III 

THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR. 

The war of 1870 between France and Prussia gave birth 
to the present poHtical age of phophecy. A war, however, 
may be one of prophecy without being one of biological ne- 
cessity, as General Von Bernhardi would have us believe. As 
one of the prophecies it gives us the master key to the political 
situation of the present age. 

Napoleon III, the son of Louis, and nephew of the great 
Napoleon, was elected president of the French Republic 
December 2, 1852. Acting upon his maxim, that liberty 
never helped to make a durable political edifice, he succeeded 
by a coup d'etat in having himself proclaimed Emperor, and 
after that, like his predecessors, did as he pleased. 

For centuries France had been the enemy of Germany. 
Napoleon stole German territory for a pastime. Louis IX 
took Burgundy and Louis XIV seized Alsace and Lorraine. 
In time matters changed. By German thrift the Teutons 
became too prosperous to suit France, then Napoleon III be- 
came jealous. By a coup de etat ( for Bismark was apt in that 
kind of diplomacy, too) Prussia came into possession of the 
Schleswig-Holstein provinces that led to the war with Austria 
in 1866, and put WiUiam I at the head of the United Northern 
Germany. 

These sudden additions to Prussia became an affront to 
the French Monarch. It was an audacious strength of power 
that needed to be abated. It was cause for war, he thought, 
but there was no excuse as yet for that. 

20 



THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR 21 

But the time came for France, in the Divine Plan of the 
Ages, to become a Republic, and Germany was the agent 
selected to bring that political change to pass. It was a Di- 
vine decree that the temporal power of the Popes should be 
brought to an end at the same time also. Preparatory to that 
great event, the Ecumenical Council convened in Rome in 
December, 1869, for the purpose of passing the Dogma of 
Infallibility on Pope Pius IX. Cardinal Gibbons, one of the 
delegates on that occasion, gives us the number of bishops 
there in attendance. He says he was the youngest of them 
all, 665 being present. Counting Pius IX, we have 666, to 
stand for the ending of the temporal power of the Popes. It 
was a poHtical power ordained of God (i Rom. 13 : i), for the 
chastisement of the children of the elect, but after the casting 
down of the throne at Sedan, in 1870, Popes no longer were 
permitted to crown and uncrown kings, for the Zionist move- 
ment was then to begin (Dan. 7:9). 

Napoleon finally found an excuse for war. It arose out 
of distracted conditions in Spain. The Spaniards wanted a 
king and went on a search among the ruling families of 
Europe to find one. They asked Prince Leopold of Hohen- 
zollern to rule over them, but the Prince declined the honor. 
He had reasons. 

Napoleon objected to this kinsman of the house of Prus- 
sia having the position. The King did not care anything 
about the matter, one way or another, and said so, but the 
Emperor demanded a pledge that no encouragement in the 
future would be given to the advancement of that Prince to 
the Spanish throne. To this demand the King refused. 
Napoleon now had his excuse*, and nine days later, July 9, 

•See article in New York Sun, March. 24, 1900, under Cardinal Gibbons' own signature. 



22 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

1870, war was declared on Germany. From that time the 
cry "On to BerHn" was heard. On August 4th, the first 
battle was fought. On July 25th, the Emperor joined himself 
to the Army at Metz, being determined to lead them on to 
Berlin in person. Several battles followed, but the decisive 
one was fought on September 2d, at Sedan, in favor of 
Prussia. 

On September 4th, the Parisians having lost out, estab- 
lished their Republic and from that time they have owned 
themselves. It cost them, all told, to avenge an insulted 
Monarch, the sum of $2,600,000,000, and the two provinces 
of Alsace and Lorraine. 

The passing of the Dogma of Infallibility on Pope Pius 
IX, took place on July 18, and on the next day Napoleon's 
troops were ordered away from Rome for the war. On Sep- 
tember 20th, the troops of Victor Emanuel, King of Italy, 
entered Rome and the ten states of the Church were an- 
nexed to Italy. Then the King issued his manifesto declar- 
ing "the Temporal Power of the Popes abolished, and will 
remain so." On October 2nd, the people voted 40,835 to 46 
against papal rule. The great event took place just twelve 
hundred and sixty years after Phocas made Boniface III, 
Universal Bishop, and this ended Daniel's Fourth Kingdom 
and finished it. 

A PRUSSIAN INTRIGUE IN PROPHESY. 

As a Divine necessity for the restoration of Israel, Bis- 
marck, who hated Democracy and loved Autocracy, was per- 
mitted by his "blood and iron policy" to pick a quarrel with 



THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR 2^ 

Austria that Germany might be brought to the feet of Prus- 
sia. This was the beginning of the 1866- 1870 confHct for 
the subjugation of France. 

There was no excuse for a war with France, but an op- 
portunity was given finally for the manufacturing of one, 
in a telegram sent to the King concerning the Spanish suc- 
cession before mentioned. This telegram was taken by Bis- 
marck, who changed it from a request to a threat of war, 
by striking out words, but not adding any or changing it 
otherwise. With this concentrated edition it was given to 
the newspapers, and war followed. As expected France was 
degraded and the German Empire established. 

From that war four results followed for the fulfillment 
of prophesy. 

( 1 ) The destruction of Daniel's Fourth Dynasty in the 
downfall of the French Monarchy as the eldest 
daughter of the church. 

(2) The creation of republics of prophesy. Rev. 13:11. 

(3) The origination of the Zionist Movement. 

(4) The conflict between Democracy and Absolutisms 
now being fought to a finish.

CHAPTER IV. 

KAISER WILLIAM, THE BEAST OF PROPHECY. 

The thirteenth chapter of Revelations could never have 
been written had not the Beast of Berlin supplied the data 
for that chapter. As a complement to the seventh chapter 
of Daniel, it takes up the story of The Old Beast where he 
was left mangled and torn by the crashing down of the throne 
at Sedan on September 2, 1870, when the fight under the 
<new regime was continued, and the end is not yet. 

Monarchy received a deadly wound in the French Rev- 
olution — 1 789- 1 792, but it healed — verse 3. It was during 
the reign of Louis XVI when a republic was formed, but 
Napoleon III, by a coupe de etat, changed the republic to a 
monarchy again. St. John speaks of this deadly wound in 
verses 12 and 14. 

Not until after monarchy was made to loosen its grip 
on the Church, did it grapple with Republican liberty. Those 
were the years around which the centuries turned, and the 
time when the Spirit of " '76" materialized as a Divine Con- 
cept, Rev. 13:11. Daniel had just seen the throne at Sedan 
cast to the ground, and he beheld till they all fell, even from 
Paris to Pekin, and to Petrograd. The one at Berlin is now 
crumbling to dust — Dan. 7 :g. And the prophet beheld until 
General Allenby opened the gates at Jerusalem for the return 
of the Jews to their Abrahamic possessions in the Fatherland. 
For it has been a fight from the first against the powers of 
darkness for the return of the Old Democratic Common-

wealth of Israel, that the nations of the earth might have 
Judges as at the first, and counsellors as at the beginning. 
Isa. I '.26. 

The conflict between Democracy and Absolutism took 
its rise on April 16, 1871, when the constitution of Germany 
was adopted. That was the same year, also, when the Jews 
of Algiers were emancipated and got ready to renew their 
Jubilee Celebrations. As the Zionist Movement in itself an- 
ticipated the destruction of Gentile Dominion upon the return 
of the Jews to Palestine, the powers of darkness made ready 
to protect the Divine Right of Kings, and that was done from 
a mundane point of view, by seating the Emperor of Germany 
as the last in the line of the Belshazzar-Hohenzollern Kings 
high up in the Bundesrath, with powers absolute to crush 
out the life of those who would not worship the Beast, vs. 
16 and 17. In no other way can the presence of Diabolus 
be accounted for in this war. For it has been a fight from 
the first to prevent the Restoration of Israel, in 1925. 

The life of William II, Emperor of Germany, historically 
answers every objection the prophet used in his reply against 
Israel, when they cried for a King. As a Hohenzollern, his 
life has been characterized by duplicity, and deception, and 
by fraud and force. So is that of the Beast. 

The Hohenzollerns were pirates and robbers from the 
beginning. They built their lairs high up in the mountains 
of Southern Germany where they could swoop down on the 
lone traveler and the pack-peddler, and exact what toll they 
chose. As toll gatherers, they became known as Hohen- 
zollerns, hence their distinguished title. 

After a time these petty robbers left their secret places 



KAISER WILLIAM BEAST OF PROPHECY 27 

in the mountains above, and thereafter plied their profession 
on the plains below. By more extensive piracies and rich 
marriages, they came into possession of Brandenburg and 
its dependencies, hence the origin of the Vons, and the 
Counts, the Crown Princes and the other beasts of the Berlin 
jungle. 

In the time of Frederick the Great, 1740- 1786, right 
by conquest was obtained by a series of wars. Frederick 
was called great because he got about everything he wanted 
whether he had rights or not. 

In the time of William I, 1839-1888, those wants grew 
big. The king wanting the ports of the North Sea for Ger- 
man commerce, Denmark was persuaded, at the mouth of the 
cannon, in the war of 1864, to give up her rich provinces 
of Holstein and Schleswig, and herein first materialized 
Bismarck's "Mailed Fist." 

The war with Denmark led to one with Austria- 
Hungary. The Chancellor had before planned this war for 
that purpose, and when the snake sloughed off this time, 
it came away with a dual monarchy. 

The Hapsburg, Magyar Kingdom was wanted by Ger- 
many for a buffer one. Visions of the Far East had brought 
Berlin into a view of a world wide conquest, but the Balkan 
States were in the way. So it came to pass, the battle of 
Koniggratz, in 1866, was made to adjust claims so far as the 
dual monarchy was concerned, and in doing that, the Czecho- 
slovak, and Jugo Slav races were brought under subjection to 
German slave masters. The Czecho-Slovak races started 
the fires of the Reformation in the Middle Ages. They gave 
John Huss to the world, and carried on an unequal contest 



28 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

with the Hapsburg and Magyar tyrants in defense of their 
liberties for over a thousand years, but now were to be sac- 
rificed on the altar of autocracy in the interest of pan- 
Germanism. Had the Pope's peace propaganda with its 
statu quo — ante bellum condonations obtained, the Czecho- 
slovak Republic would not be in existence today, but the 
Divine plan of the Ages had it otherwise. 

As planned wrong again, Napoleon III was tricked into 
a war with Prussia in 1870 with a loss of Alsace and Lor- 
raine, and a $2,000,000,000 indemnity. But that loss to 
France did not revert to Germany's gain. The time had now 
come for the tables to turn. From henceforth Prussia's gains 
were to bring losses until monarchy was destroyed. Jer. 
30:11. Berlin was to hold sway until the return of the chil- 
dren to Jerusalem, but to its own hurt, and history so verifies. 

In 1888, when William II ascended the throne, it was 
with the intention of making his reign the greatest one on 
earth. The key to the success of that career was given three 
days before in an address to the army, when the Emperor 
said, "The soldier and the army — not parliamentary major- 
ities, have welded together the German Empire. My con- 
fidence is in the army." 

That blood and iron policy was the foundation stone of 
Prussian militarism. It harks back to that principle of ar- 
bitrary rule which obtained under the old regime, but des- 
tined to destruction that the birth of a new freedom might 
take its place. 

In the history of absolutism, the time had now come 
when nothing was considered glorious but strength, nothing 
pitiable but weakness. That absolutism, therefore, might 



KAISER WILLIAM BEAST OF PROPHECY 29 

have control over the issues of a monarchial sway, the Triple 
Alliance was formed. Nations were to be made now to live 
in peace. For thirty years they did so, but the Alliance had 
been formed under a deceptive guise. In 1909, when Austria 
forcibly annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Russian Bear 
growled, but to no purpose. Europe then discovered that the 
Dragon had claws. The Alliance had been formed to con- 
quer the world, not to pacify it. 

In the meantime, the Triple Entente came into a defen- 
sive attitude. Now the issues between democracy and abso- 
lutism were more clearly outlined, and the Beast became 
alarmed. Poisonous propagandas and pro-German activities 
were made manifest in all the earth. They materialized 
again both in Manila Bay, and in that Morocco episode, when 
the warship Panther went down to Agadir, but the Beast 
always got foiled. Finally, on the 5th of July, 19 14, the ducal 
ring around the Teuton throne met at Potsdam to start the 
present war, and that, too, failed. Three weeks later, the 
shooting of the Archduke furnished the needed excuse for 
war, and now Germany is reaping sad results because of that 
savage ultimatum sent to Servia. Nothing has succeeded 
since Republics (Rev. 13:11) were created to destroy mon- 
archies (Jer. 30:11). It all accounts for the German Kaiser 
gnashing his teeth at the present time, for his sun has 
now set. 

Fifty years before the French soldier interpreted the 
word, camouflage, the prophet John visualized all the de- 
ceptions and duplicity of the German Beast as epitomized 
in that thirteenth chapter of Revelations. That chapter is 
full of it. They border on the miraculous in verses 13 and 



30 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

14. In verse 15, the word, image, is substituted for that of 
Kaiser. The two words mean one and the same thing, un- 
mistakably. In both cases, the sneaking U-boat and the 
unseen airship are symbolized. Human fiends were seen 
lying on ocean beds watching for prey from the bottom of 
the sea; other false spirits on winged monsters, vieing with 
the fleetness of the windstorm, while throwing fire and sul- 
phur on towns and cities full of women and children to burn 
them up. This, we know, is the work of the Kaiser, but 
spoken of in this chapter as the image of the Beast. As 
works of the Beast, they are manifest by the ash-heaps and 
standing chimneys in Belgium; how Servia was executed, 
Poland devastated, Russia poisoned, and Armenia ravished; 
or by the way nothing has been left but a trail of blood from 
Verdun to Bagdad, and with nothing to show where Verdun 
once stood, but a clot of blood. Reason for those frightful 
atrocities can be found in verses 16 and 17. That they could 
all have been prevented by William, as Emperor of Germany, 
is evident from the fact that it would have taken only 14 
adverse votes in the Bundesrath to have prevented any one 
of them from the sinking of the Lusitania to that of any 
other act committed, for the Kaiser had 17 votes in that 
council, and controlled 6 more. Not wanting to show too 
much disrespect to the Devil because of his unfortunate 
relationship, but if the following does not prove that the 
Kaiser of Germany is the image of the Beast, and the Beast 
himself was the generalissimo of all the Devil's forces in 
this present conflict, who, we ask, in the name of Diadolus is ? 
The word Kaiser has six letters in that name. K, the 
first letter, is the eleventh in alphabetical order, which pre- 
fixed to six, gives us 1 16. If we do likewise with these other 



KAISER WILLIAM BEAST OF PROPHECY 3 1 

five letters, we will obtain the number 666, spoken of in 
verse i8. Thus Kaiser is the name prophecy gives for the 
image of the Beast. 

The name Beast, as originally written in Greek, is 
Lateinos. The value of each letter in that name-word is as 
follows: L, 30; a, i ; t, 300; e, 5; i, 10; n, 50; o, 70; s, 
200=666. 

So here is the man prophecy found, who once preached 
a sermon in the temple at Jerusalem, dressed in the surplice 
of a clergyman, having before proclaimed to the world that — 
"As the instrument in the hands of the Lord, without heeding 
the opinions of the day, he went his way." That way was 
the Devil's own. 

The Beast of the Apocalypse materialized when Austria- 
Hungary materialized and wistful eyes were cast towards 
the Orient, in the interests of autocracy at Berlin. As food 
for cannon, the Balkan nations were to be made subservient 
to pan-Germanism, regardless of any primary right of na- 
tional existence, or of self-government. The Czechs, whose 
country had given Germans the privilege of obtaining an 
education in the fourteenth century, at the great university 
at Prague, were committed to the tender mercies of the Mag- 
yars, who as cruel masters saw that the 2,000,000 population 
of those people, though equal in number to that of Hungary, 
should have no part in the government. The Slovaks were 
left for the Austrians to restrain and her treatment had never 
been moderate for the Bohemians. Maria Theresa once said, 
"The law of heaven cried out against us, and also all natural 
justice and sound reason. I must confess I am ashamed to 
show my face." But in these latter times these Bohemians, 
who can boast of a John Huss, the great reformer and pa- 



32 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

triot, and whose illiteracy is less than that of the Germans 
in their midst, have been forced to serve ther hated oppres- 
sors in a war against the Allies and in a cause they detest. 
Every Czech regiment forced into this war had 40 per cent, 
of their number consisting of Germans and Magyars to watch 
over them. Many of their leaders sought safety in flight, 
and hundreds of them, after languishing in jail, have been 
literally annihilated because they would not fight for the 
Germans against their friends, the AlHes. John Huss was 
burned at the stake, but the Beast of Autocracy was not more 
partial to the Catholics than to the Protestants. The Croa- 
tians fared no better than the Bohemians. Hundreds of the 
Croat leaders have been thrown into prison and afterwards 
executed for having tried to pass over to the Russians on 
the field of battle. Their religion was that of the Hapsburg 
house, but it counted for naught in the cause of the beasts 
of the jungle at Berlin. And what can we say of the Poles, 
the land of Copernicus, the founder of modern astronomy; 
of Servia, which in the eyes of pan-Germanism had no right 
of a national existence. Of Bosnia and Herzegovina prov- 
inces stolen for Austria, that as nations they might be de- 
stroyed. Of the South Slavs of Turkey, an empire that has 
not since its establishment contributed a single contribution, 
however small, to the civilization and progress of the world. 
Time would fail us in trying to speak of all these dead 
lands, between the Baltic and the Adriatic. A journey from 
Danzic of 1,000 miles south would take the traveler through 
many lands, whose citizens and peasants have had no rights 
but to be taken into foreign countries to fight for a cause 
not of their own choosing, whose religions have been sup- 
pressed, and whose tongues are not permitted in a court of 



KAISER WILLIAM BEAST OF PROPHECY 33 

justice ; and who, as John the Divine truly said : Were killed 
because they would not worship the Beast (Rev. 13:16-17). 
From a political point of view, this autocratic beast was 
destroyed because of a want of a proper vision of opposing 
influences. They thought Great Britain would not defend 
the neutrality of Belgium, and that America would not fight, 
even if they could cross the seas. They had also misjudged 
the Italian character. The war would have commenced in 
1913 had not Marchese di San Guiliano, Minister of Foreign 
Affairs, stated in the plainest and most emphatic terms that 
she would not join Austria in an attack on Serbia, saying 
that she would not stand by any such an offensive warfare 
for a wholesale conquest of freedom, democracy and 
nationality. 

The prophetical causes, however, go deeper than that. 
They are outlined in the following chapter, on the Divine 
plan of the Plan of the Ages, and explained in the pages fol- 
lowing. As a sure word of prophecy, every event from the 
time of the first cry for a king till the abdication of Wilhelm, 
is told in those pages.

CHAPTER VI. 

PRESENT AGE OF MODERN PROPHECY. 

Modern prophecy finds its source in Judaism. From 
that fountain head comes this present war, the greatest one 
in all the annals of history. It has cost already more lives 
and more money than all of the wars of the past one hundred 
years and longer. It has caused more suffering to women 
and children, to the aged and to the innocent by cruel treat- 
ment and barbarities perpetrated for hellish purposes than 
any other war or series of wars ever waged by the most un- 
civilized of all the heathen nations of the world. It is a war 
that cannot be written up with the Devil left out. 

This war is one of prophecy absolutely. In no other 
way except through prophecy can it be understood. It harks 
back to a cry Israel made centuries ago for a King and every 
evil influence that has obtained in the strife for the success 
of autocracy can be traced back to that cry for a starting 
point. The cry came from the Shylocks of Israel wanting 
special privileges for themselves, at the expense of the many, 
and out of that seed-bed of aristocracy came forth this dragon 
from Germany today. 

Ever since Gambetta proclaimed France a Republic on 
September 4, 1870, these prophesies have been in process of 
fulfillment. Thrones have been falling from Paris, France, 
to Petrograd, Russia, and the end is not yet. 

Before those different streams of prophecy met for the 
War of 1870, everything was different from what it is now. 
Under the old regime, autocrats ruled in both Church and 
State. Popes crowned and uncrowned kings, despots held 

37 



38 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

the reins of governments, and kingdoms were conveyed from 
one sovereignty to the other as chattels. At best, govern- 
ments were ruled by ducal rings, obedient to the throne. Now, 
the people say: "You must," and Princes obey. It was a 
change from the old regime to the new, brought about by 
republics. 

Those prophecies above mentioned for the ushering in 
and closing out of the present Jewish age, led Pastor Russell 
to fix the time of Christ's invisible appearance in 1874, when 
the first hegira began, and his visible one in October, 1914; 
but the seer from Brooklyn was mistaken. He based his 
conclusions on the Bogert pamphlet, written before the War 
in 1870, and, having taken only a part of a prophecy for the 
whole, got everything wrong but his good intentions. 

As a discerner of types and anti-types, Pastor Russell 
was well able to have avoided the mistakes he made. Had 
he not been obsessed with some vague theories about the 
Second Advent, his own logical conclusions would have ap- 
prehended the invisible appearance of his Satanic Majesty, 
instead of Christ, at the time of the first hegira, and his 
visible one, now very much in evidence, when the war was 
hatched in 1914. 

We are not informed about the great secret when Christ 
shall come again, but of those prophecies touching upon the 
fulfillment of the present Jewish age, we submit proof for 
verification, and we refer to the words of St. Paul. He 
says : "For the invisible things of Him from the foundation 
of the world are clearly seen, being understood from the 
things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead." 
[Rom. 1-20.] Hence our history of prophecy. 

At the time of this great change in the political history 



PRESENT AGE OF MODERN PROPHECY 39 

of the world, when passive obedience began to give way to 
a regularly constituted authority, in both State and Church, 
a broader view of life began to materialize in the building 
up of the present age, the most transitional in history. It 
was a time when not only thrones began to be cast down for 
popular government to take the place of monarchies, and 
one for the Jews to begin their ascendancy, in accordance 
with prophecy, but a time also in the intellectual affairs 
among thinking men, when a spirit of investigation and re- 
search made veritable that statement about "knowledge run- 
ning to and fro during these latter times." 

Antiquarians had much to do in bringing about this 
state of affairs. Astronomers, geologists, anthropologists 
and scientists in general, first came into evidence. They de- 
manded proof of everything. Old traditions and false theo- 
ries were put to the test, and even the authenticity of the Old 
Testament scriptures was questioned. They questioned the 
Genesis account of man, but the false theory upon which the 
origin of races was made led them astray. It was easy 
enough for designing scholarship to prove that the Mosaic 
account was full of mistakes. Scientists found no difficulty 
in establishing the fact that the hand-book of nature con- 
tradicts the Bible as the Mosaic record now stands. A false 
theory long before that had. established the one parentage 
origin of the races, and upon that false basis the translation 
of the Genesis account of man was made. Although con- 
trary to the original Hebrew record'^ scholarship would not 

•Note: In a work entitled "Am I a Jew or a Gentile", by General Thomas A. Davles, 
the term "Ha Adam", Gen. 1:27, was used, he said, in the Genesis account of man by 
Moses about forty times to show that the ancestor of the Hebrew race had a different 
m?eanlntr from that of "Adam", mentioned in verse 26, which is a plural noun, signifying 
Gentiles. As that little booklet is now out of print it is the Intention of the author of this 
work In his next publication on the plural origin of man to reproduce those verses In 
which the term "Ha Adam" is used in contradistinction to that of "Adam," and to prove 
that Noah's flood was not a world wide deluge, as generally supposed, but only large 
enough to drown the "Ha Adam" race of Palestine. It was not Adam that was destroyed 
by that flood, only "Ha Adam from Adam to beast", as the original record aays. 



40 



BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 



accept anything but that false unit theory, and from that 
source comes our present age of doubt and unbeHef . It pro- 
duced a rehgious defection which in connection with autoc- 
racy and German materiaHsm, has had much to do with this 
present war. 




CHAPTER VII. 



SATAN IN POLITICS. 



President Wilson recently said that everything in gen- 
eral, and nothing in particular, was the cause of this War. 
The President was right as to everything in general, but 
issue is taken as to "nothing in particular." 

There is no war now between the races, nor is there a 
conflict now being waged between the creeds of the Church; 
nevertheless, this present strife between Germany and the 
other nations of the world harks back to a racial destruction 
and to a religious defection, which in both cases is grounded 
in Satanism, absolutely. 

Prophesy visualizes in Satanism, the same as in those 
invisible things, of which St. Paul speaks. We have the 
trail of the serpent from the time of its birth in a lie told 
to Eve in the Garden of Eden, until it materialized into the 
Superman of German philosophy, and its scent is as strong 
today as it was in the beginning. It bred illicit love between 
Adam and Ha Adam, as Moses wrote those terms, or as 
we would say now, between Jews and Gentiles, and out of 
that illegitimate sex relationship came a miscegenation of 
the races that so angered Jehovah he drowned Ha Adam 
in Noah's flood. Gen. VI:VII. Hebrew. 

Because of those forbidden marriages, it was genera- 
tion, regeneration, then degeneration, until the sons of God 
became corrupted, then God changed his plans for the sal- 
vation of the world and the Devil changed his plans also. 

41 



42 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

RACIAL DESTRUCTION. 

In this age of doubt and unbelief it is hard for the wis- 
dom of the world to understand Satanism. Satanism is not 
credited with what belongs to it. Scholarship does not grasp 
the subject, while our political saints simply credit everything 
that is wrong to evil influences, and that too, only in an in- 
considerate sort of a way. Not until Germany has revealed 
St. Paul's Man of Sin will some people understand why it 
is that this world is paying $75,000,000.00 a day for the War 
and only $30,000,000.00 a year for foreign missions. 

The blight of impurity is a national curse, the same as 
an individual one. It has its roots in lusts. It originated in 
the Edenic cradle bed of illicit sex relationship, after Eve 
tried to sip honey dew from the serpent's tooth. It was at 
that time forbidden marriages took rise. They were illicit 
alliances between Jews and Gentiles, and forbidden because 
it was in violation of the law of kind after kind. A miscegen- 
ation of the races has always lead to hybridic results. That 
the Sons of God should vitiate their virgin blood with the 
impurity and impotencies of body and mind of all the 
nations round about, angered God, and then he declared, 
"My spirit shall not always strive with Ha Adam." Gen. 
6, 3. Heb. 

The Ha Adam race had been created for the evolution 
of a Saviour, but it was not to be through a line of degener- 
ates. So it repented the Lord that he had made Ha Adam, 
but indiscriminate marriages followed. 

Those old pre-Noahchian patriarchs were a lovesick lot 
anyway. They were not very particular where they picked 
up a woman for a wife, ''and they took of all they chose." 



SATAN IN POLITICS 43 

It was marrying and giving in marriage with all sorts of 
weddings until honeymoons were cut short by the great flood, 
and all the Ha Adam people from Adam to beast were 
drowned. Gen. 7, 7. Hebrew. 

Cain went to the woods for his wife. We are lead to 
believe that our Gentile grandmother was a beautiful Iranian 
woman, as all our Aryan ancestors were. Nevertheless the 
example Cain set was a bad one. Other young Hebrews 
became lovesick and went to the woods for their wives, too. 
Finally the custom of going from home to get a helpmeet 
worked charmingly, and the unwritten law became an es- 
tablished one. 

There was Tubal-Cain, instructor of every artificer of 
brass and iron, which implied many shops and factories in 
the Euphrates Valley. There was Jubal the organ grinder 
also. He handled the harp and organ. James Freeman Clark 
speaks of the wind instruments our own ancestors had at 
that time; and of their high state of civilization. So it is 
reasonable to presume that when Tubal-Cain and Jubal went 
up on the Oxus and the Jaxartes, to trade in organs and other 
wares, or that when our wise and honorable young men and 
women of Aryana went down on the Euphrates to fiddle and 
dance and talk about fourths and diatonics, marriage be- 
tween folks followed. 

Now, in those old days when Cain and Abel strove in 
the field, Fu-He, the Chinese savant, was a great philosopher. 
Fifteen hundred years afterwards, Confucius compiled all 
his works, and Chinamen have a right to worship their an- 
cestors now if they want to. And many Chinese damsels 
in that day, as yellow as gold dust, got Hebrew husbands, 
who thought their almond-eyed, flat-haired, yellow-faced 



44 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

wives from the Orient, with their dainty wee feet, were the 
most beautiful women in the land. 

But there were other alliances worse still. The land 
was full of languages and isms of all kinds. There was the 
flat-footed, round-haired, round-faced African, from which 
nothing but degenerates could come by marriage. Then 
there were the bulbous-eyed, big-bellied, short-bodied, stubby- 
legged race of people to the east of Eden, a marriage with 
whom would be bad. But need we say more ? The rain fell, 
the floods came, and the Great Deluge made a clearing house 
of blood for all generations to come. 

The blight of impurity has never ceased in its work for 
the destruction of nations. Ever since the Assyrian came 
down like a wolf on the fold, governments have risen only 
to fall again. There was the Babylonian which flourished 
from the time of Sargon to Nebuchadnezzar, 3200 years, 
that went down in wine with bad women at the feast of Bel- 
shazzar, in 536 B. C. Then came that great Medo-Persian 
power, that ram with two horns seeking a world-wide domain, 
which lost out eventually under its own weight of chariots and 
concubines. Following came the Macedonian nation, and 
who knows about Homeric Greece now ? Alexander, its hero, 
symbolized by a he-goat with one notable horn, after found- 
ing seventeen cities in his own name, died a drunkard. 

Out of Alexander's dominions came four others, each 
of which was part of that he-goat spoken of by Daniel the 
Prophet. There was Anthony and Cleopatra of Egypt, and 
Antiochus Epiphenes the scourge of Palestine, and the Cae- 
sars from the Roman citadel, but they all became destroyed 
by the power of lust, a power that knows no conqueror. So 
much for the first three kingdoms. 



SATAN IN POLITICS 45 

The greatest of those four kings or dynasties spoken 
of by Daniel came next. It consisted of ten governments 
under one compact, with the Church for its executive head. 
It was symbolized as a beast with ten horns and seven heads. 
The heads were the protecting powers of the Church, France 
being the last one. It lost out under Napoleon iii in 1870. 

The degeneracy of France took its rise centuries ago 
when the Nordic tribes of Europe overran those southern 
countries and became swallowed up in the effeminacy of 
the more southern climes. In the time of the Louis's harlot- 
ism held the reins of government. Kings had wives, but royal 
mistresses ruled at Court, They had more influence than 
the generals of the army. The reign of Louis XV cost the 
realm $20,000,000.00 to keep the royal harem full, and the 
fashions up. Then the bastile fell, and the French Revolution 
(1789- 1 792) was on. This was the beginning of the end of 
Daniel's fourth dynasty, which lost its throne in Sedan on 
September 2nd, 1870. 

This present government of the line of the Belshazzar- 
Hohenzollern kings, originated in a cesspool of political cor- 
ruption. Its method of warfare was poisoned by Bismarck, 
who hated democracy and loved autocracy. It was his pur- 
pose to build up a Prussian militarism by blood and iron to 
conquer the world. As a mailed fist, it drew its spiritual 
light from the 40,000 electric bulbs at the Krupp gun works 
at Essen. It was hardly of the kind to make the kingdoms 
of the German Empire, the kingdoms of our Lord, the Christ, 
but Germany believes that. So pro-German agents, called 
pacifists, for a disguise, went forth from Berlin like false 
spirits from his Satanic Majesty, to gather the forces of Gog 
and Magog to the Battle of the Armageddon. For Satan

knew that blood was to run in rivulets, and all the world was 
to be made to groan. Now, with 1,500,000 German youths 
among the slain, the false prophet is crying aloud for more 
food for cannon. There are no babies in the land, and the 
cradles are empty. 

So the cry went forth from the false prophet to all the 
maidens and married women in Germany, for a wholesale 
prostitution to fill the cradles again. Another 1,500,000 
were needed for future Germany, whose lives were to be 
dedicated to the Dragon. One million, five hundred thousand 
more young men were wanted to give seven years of the best 
part of their lives to learn the goose-step, how to shoot when 
told to, with privileges to wear the iron cross in honor of 
their Kaiser should they be killed in battle. 

The Jews were the only nation free from intermarriages 
with the several races of the Gentile world. The law of kind 
after kind has been observed by them only. From the time 
of Joshua, their unity has been preserved by a strict observ- 
ance of that law forbidding a miscegenation of races, and ac- 
cording to the Divine plan of the Ages, they only will come 
into the possession of a world-wide empire after the resto- 
ration of Israel, in 1925, whether Germany thinks that way 
or not. But Israel as a nation includes both Jew and Gen- 
tiles. After the Jews forsook Christ, the Lord gave the 
Gentiles to the Messiah for an inheritance. Psa. 2:8. 



CHAPTER VIII. 



THE FIGHT FOR ARISTOCRACY. 



Before the flood Satan's object was the destruction of 
the race that was created for the evolution of a Savior of 
man, but after the deluge, the destruction of a government 
engaged Satan's attention. 

Ever since man was created in the image of God, that 
he might be governed by his own will, the Lord has had 
trouble keeping Satan from destroying that image. It was 
a creation of inalienable rights that man might enjoy life, 
liberty and the pursuit of happiness according to the dic- 
tates of his conscience. But that was a menace to Satan. 
Those rights materialized in the formation of the Jubilee 
Cycle, B. C. 1575. 

It came to pass, therefore, when the Jubilee cycles as 
a government were given to Israel, having its nationalism 
bed-rocked in Mt. Sinai, its justice and equity based on 
Mosaic law, with personal liberty and individual rights guar- 
anteed to every citizen of the general commonwealth, Satan 
saw the beginning of the end of his own political existence, 
and acted accordingly. 

The government now to be overthrown was given after 
Israel had tramped out of the wilderness into Canaan in 
1575, B. C. As a Divine concept, it was the best government 
on earth. It was based on 70 cycles of 50 years each and so 
constituted that at the end of its sojourn of 3,500 years, 
(which is to take place in 1925) men would walk with God 
and talk with Him as Enoch did. 

47 



48 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

But Satan intervened. Unless such a compact for per- 
sonal liberty could be destroyed by kingcraft, the political 
career of the wicked one would soon come to an end, hence 
that cry for a king. It was the prelude to that pro-German 
cry for the Divine right of Kings but lately heard. 

With that wisdom which has always characterized the 
evil genius of deceit, Satan soon perceived another peril to 
his own existence in those days of Sabbath Rests, Pente- 
costal Feasts, Seventh Year Reformations and Fiftieth Year 
Restitutions afforded by the Jubilee Cycles. It was a gov- 
ernment anyway where trust combinations and millionaires 
would bankrupt themselves every year of Jubilee. If now, 
in addition, the poor man was to have a restitution of rights 
at stated periods of time, debts cancelled every year of 
Jubilee that he might have another chance again in life, and 
slaves freed from bondage after a time that they, too, might 
not always be held in servitude, the Cycles then would render 
null and void the aristocratic ideal and nobility would no 
longer be protected by the State. For despotisms held that 
if a man was born a slave he should be kept a slave. If that 
was not true then the restoration of Israel would give birth 
to an international freedom. 

So it came to pass evil spirits were sent out in quest of 
a king. It was a cry for kingcraft, and God granted the 
petition but contrary to His will. "They have not rejected 
you, but they have rejected me," said the Lord unto Samuel. 
It was the work of evil spirits. 

The last Jubilee held for a period of 2500 years was 
in 625 B. C. The clarion notes for the next celebration were 
not heard again until the year 1875. The emancipation of 
the Jews of Algiers in 1871, as a result of the war in 1870, 
had made that last celebration possible. 



THE FIGHT FOR ARISTOCRACY 49 

The Babylonian captivity took place in 606 B. C, and 
Gentile Dominion began at that time. By prophecy it was 
to continue Seven Times. See second and fourth chapters 
of Daniel. According to the Hebrew method of reckoning 
Seven Times (360x7) would give 2520 years. That would 
reach to the year 191 5 for the beginning of the end of the 
Divine Right of Kings. 

The Seven Times allowed for that right was one thing, 
and the four dynasties set for the beginning of the ascend- 
ancy of the Jews, was another. But Pastor Russell got the 
two statements mixed. The ascension of the Jews — the 
Zionist movement — began at the time the throne of France 
was cast down September 2, 1870, (Dan. 7:9) but Gentile 
Dominion was not to end until the full return of the Jews, 
according to the history of the Jubilee Cycles. 

It is evident from the above that Satan was in a conflict 
for the destruction of the Jubilee Cycles in order that the 
restoration of Israel might never take place. If the Cycles 
could not be destroyed Satan would be forced into outer 
darkness after the Seven Times of Gentile Dominion had 
come to pass, hence the fight for his own existence. 

The Darwinian plan for the survival of the fittest was 
thereupon to be overruled by Providence. It was to be ren- 
dered null and void by a survival of the weakest that by times 
and the dividing of times the Jews might come into the as- 
cendancy, and Israel restored again to her Abrahamic pos- 
sessions, as promised to them. This was to be accomplished 
by the restoration of Israel in 1925. 

Therefore, not by chance, but by Divine arrangement, 
the last celebration in 625 B. C. was the nineteenth one, leav- 
ing 51 more cycles yet to come. How wonderful are God's 
ways. 



50 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

But no joyous feast could be observed while the children 
were in bondage, during those twenty-five hundred years of 
servitude. Nevertheless, the remaining 51 cycles were com- 
pleted by the first hegira in 1874, leaving the 50 Jubilee cele- 
brations for annual feasts during the time of the Zionist 
movement; for 50 Jubilee occasions during the fifty years 
between 1875 and 1925. 

After the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 it must have 
become plain to St. Paul's Man of Sin that different streams 
of prophecy were then meeting for a conflict between Dem- 
ocracy and Absolutism. It was a meeting not only for the 
destruction of monarchies, (Jer. 30:11) but for all forms 
of Autocracy in both Church and State. The rise of re- 
publics and the downfall of dynasties since that time verify 
that statement. 

It also became an accepted fact long ago that the return 
of the Jews to Palestine was a foregone conclusion. Every- 
thing that has taken place with that march Zionward, from 
the time Max Nordau first led his colony into the promised 
land in 1874, to the time of the gift of Palestine by the British 
Government to the Jews for a homeland, just made, gives 
sufficient proof that the Wicked One must have been well 
aware that if by some strenuous effort the international birth 
of a new freedom was not prevented his political reign on 
the mundane sphere here below would soon come to an end. 



CHAPTER IX. 
Jeremiah's double. 

While Israel was learning to make bricks without straw, 
she submitted to her cruel bondage in Egypt and thanked 
the gods that it was no worse. After she waxed fat in the 
Wilderness, doing nothing but eat bread rained down from 
Heaven, like Jeshurum, she kicked. Manna from heaven and 
quail from God's storehouse surfeited her. It made the chil- 
dren lust after onions and garlic and the fleshpots of Egypt 
again. 

In 1575 B. C, Israel tramped out of the wilderness into 
Canaan with shoes on her feet that had not waxed old for 
forty years. She entered the land of promise with a lot of 
experience, and as long as she had no money to bother with, 
and only faith in God to live on, she did splendidly. 

As a nation Israel had her birthright at the bedside of 
Jacob when that old patriarch died in the year 181 3 B. C. 
Jacob was the grandson of Abraham, the friend of God, and 
that was a creditable relationship, but Jacob's own life hardly 
reflected one worthy of his Abrahamic descent. As a double 
life it symbolized that of Israel, which has not been above 
reproach. The way Jacob talked to his twelve sons as the 
representatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, gave the im- 
pression that his boys, and not himself, were the source from 
which all of Israel's backslidings came. The way he 
stole Esau's birthright hardly indicates that, after getting 
two of Laban's daughters for wives, then hoodwinking the 
sheep at the watering troughs, was not creditable. It all led 

52 



Jeremiah's double 53 

to a disagreement of course. Then Jacob picked up his be- 
longings and left, and everything else grisled and ring- 
streaked left with him. They were Jacob's by agreement and 
Laban couldn't say anything, but the farm mourned its loss. 
About all the stock from the barnyard was gone, all that was 
off color, at least. 

Jacob's double life symbolized "Jeremiah's Double" 
which the prophets talked so much about. As long as Jacob 
was getting riches and dreaming dreams about angels as- 
cending and descending on the ladder from earth to heaven, 
everything good came his way, and he thought well of him- 
self. It foreshadowed the life of Israel for eighteen hun- 
dred and forty-five years, or during the one-half of that long 
period of time known as Jeremiah's Double, when God's 
favors were showered down on Israel like bread from heaven. 
Then God hid his face and it was one continuous period of 
''Disfavor" for the next eighteen hundred and forty-five 
years, or from the time the fig tree was accursed until the 
Franco-Prussian War opened the gates for the Jews' return 
to Palestine. So everything was heavenly for Israel until 
the crucifixion of Christ. Then God's blessing ceased, or 
until the Jews had paid "Double." Isa. 40:2. 

The weeping of Jesus over Jerusalem five days before 
he was hanged on a tree was symbolized in a measure by 
Jacob's loss of Joseph with heartburnings for the life of his 
son. The weeping over the lost sheep of Israel until their 
return at the time appointed, was infinitely more than 
Jacob's grief, but in both cases sadness was near unto death. 
Weeping was changed to tears of joy when Joseph was found. 
His exaltation to a place by the side of Pharaoh on the throne 



54 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

enabled Jacob's little company with wagons laden with corn 
to return to Canaan singing all the way. 

After Israel began her return to Palestine in 1874 she 
had fifty Jubilee celebrations to make up for those lost while 
in captivity for twenty-five hundred years. It was now to 
be a yearly Jubilee feast from 1875 to 1925. The command 
had gone forth: "Comfort Israel. Her warfare is ended. 
Her iniquity is pardoned. She has now received double for 
all her sins." Isa. 40:2. 

In both cases referred to above Canaan was the haven 
of rest. Jacob was gathered unto his fathers at the time of 
his death, and Israel is now returning to her new home while 
angels are singing because the restoration of Israel is near 
at hand. 

The Jews were the discoverers of the Deity and idolators 
from the beginning. To them were committed the oracles 
of God after which they rejected the whole plan of salvation. 
They had now to pass under the yoke of Gentile bondage. 
Nevertheless God's love for his people remained. His con- 
tinual favors were marked. Never in the history of a con- 
quered race has there been a Daniel advanced to power, and 
with others of his friends made princes of a kingdom. No 
maiden in bondage but Esther was ever made queen of a 
realm. Only the hand of Providence could bestow such 
favors, and the same continued until the rejection of Christ 
at the time of his crucifixion. Then God's favors ceased. 

""the disfavor." 

When Christ came the question was asked: "Will the 
kingdom now be restored to Israel?" But sin and iniquity 



JEREMIAH S DOUBLE 55 

barred the way of Israel's exaltation to righteousness, making 
the restoration impossible. The command to the disciples 
was to go, not to the Gentiles, but to "The lost sheep of the 
house of Israel," for it had always been Jew, then Gentile. 
But the Jews rejected the call. They should have remem- 
bered the cry of the Prophet Zechariah (9:12), "O, daughter 
of Zion ! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem ! Behold thy King 
cometh unto thee." But they would not. "Ye prisoners of 
hope; even today I declare that I will render 'double' unto 
thee." 

But sin and iniquity had crossed this warning out of 
the minds of the Jews. Too much prosperity had spoiled the 
children. There remained the awful remedy of severe ad- 
versity. They were left for the salvation through a pathway 
of the darkest ages of Europe, studded with fagots, and 
funeral pyres and massacres. The 144,000 of the redeemed 
were in this way to come into the one thousand years of 
Christ's reign on earth. But because of that way Jesus wept 
over Jerusalem, crying out from the sadness of his heart: 
"Behold your house is left unto you desolate. Ye shall not 
see me henceforth, till ye say, blessed is he that cometh in 
the name of the Lord." Matt. 23:38-39. 

•Note: Substantially the above statement Is correct. It must be remembered, how- 
ever, that God's "disfavor" virtually ended in 1871, when a wholesale emancipation of 
the unpopular and despised race of the Jews of Algiers took place, making the hegira 
of 1874 possible, and the Zionist movement of 1878 a practicability by the Berlin Congress 
of the nations in that year. As all parties agree that the time of the crucifixion was the 
turning point, biblicists may find that the "favor" and "disfavor" was each 1839 years 
Instead of 1845. We do no violence to sonae authorities by leaving out of the calculation 
the six years for dividing the land of Canaan, which would end the "disfavor" in 1871.

CHAPTER X. 



DANIEL S FOURTH KING. 



The rule of the Gentiles over the Jews began to grow 
harsh and cruel in the time of the Caesars. The children 
had enjoyed God's favor in remarkable ways under the three 
preceding dynasties, but after the rejection of Christ it was 
destined that they should be punished as had before been 
pronounced against them by the prophets because of their 
sin and iniquity. It was to that end that Daniel's Fourth 
Kingdom should equal in point of time the preceding ages 
of Israel as a nation favored of God, from the time of her 
birth in 1813 B. C. to that of the Crucifixion. The fourth 
kingdom does that. It had its origin in the time of the Cae- 
sars, and its termination when France — as the eldest daugh- 
ter of the ten-kingdomed government, fell in 1870. That 
disaster to the French monarchy brought about the whole- 
sale emancipation of the Jews in Algiers in 1871, making 
the Zionist movement a possibility at the time of God's dis- 
favor to the Jews equaled that of his favor. 

This severity of the Roman rule over the Jews began 
early in the first century of our Christian era. Romanists 
were under the impression that the Jews belonged to an 
impure race of people, and that they were despised of the 
gods. Tacitus, the historian, born in 51 A. D., says that they 
came to be called Judea by the barbarous lengthening out of 
the word "Ida," the name of the mountain in Crete where 
they came from about the time Saturn was driven from the 
throne by the forces of Jupiter. 

57 



58 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Pliny the younger, a Roman Praetor, born in 6i, pro- 
claimed it due to his Emperor, Trajan, that his statue should 
be cut in ivory or cast in gold, and that the choicest victims 
should be sacrificed to his divinity. The Jews were the race 
proscribed. That a Jew could not bow down in adoration 
to a Nero, or to some other infamous Caesar and worship 
such a being for his god, could not be understood by Romans 
who believed that it was the will of their gods that all such 
people should be punished with death. 

When Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A. D. and the 
Jews killed and scattered among the European nations their 
troubles began in earnest. For eighteen hundred years they 
were to serve heathen nations and to be without a king or a 
prince or a sacrifice or an ephod. Hosea 3:4. And under 
these restrictions they were expected to worship the gods 
of the heathens. Titus supposed that once the citadel of the 
Jews, the Holy City of Jerusalem, itself was destroyed, that 
they would then readily adopt the religion of their conquerors, 
but it is needless to say Titus was mistaken. 

The papal kingdom came up out of the Roman Empire. 
As connected with Daniel's fourth kingdom, we speak of it 
as a political power now; it necessitates consideration aside 
from the Roman Empire or any of the other kingdoms which 
followed, but it came up out of them as the prophet says, as 
a seven-headed, ten-horned beast out of the deep sea, and 
truly the symbol for trouble was well chosen. The Emperor 
Justinian (527-532) who laid down the rule of faith for the 
Jews to go by, began those wars that troubled the waters of 
the deep sea at that time on the principle, says Gibbon, that 
the guilt of murder could not be applied to the slaughter of 
unbelievers. Gibbon would better have said the time had 



Daniel's fourth king 59 

now come to answer that prayer, ''Let his blood be on us 
and our children." Matt. 27:25. 

THE CHURCH OF TEN KINGDOMS. 

That prophecies might not become known before the 
time intended, dynasties were called kings and governments 
symbolized as beasts, and the time of Gentile dominion exer- 
cised over the Jews named as Seven Times. Beasts and drag- 
ons and false prophets, were all to be destroyed. They flour- 
ished in the time of both the Roman Catholic and Protestant 
religions, but were not of them. 

There were five governments denominated beasts. After 
the Babylonian came the Medo-Persian, or ram with two 
horns; the Alexandrian or he-goat, with one notable horn; 
the Church with the ten kingdoms or the beast with seven 
heads and ten horns, and then republics or the beast with 
two horns like a lamb. The two horns of this last named 
beast has its power represented by the two branches of all 
parliaments and legislatures. Rev. 13:11. 

The Roman beast was unlike any other beast ever cre- 
ated. It had to be described, as it could not be named. It 
consisted of ten kingdoms, viz: (i) The Visigoths; (2) 
the Suevi; (3) the Franks; (4) the Burgundians; (5) the 
Vandals; (6) the Saxons; (7) the Britons; (8) the Gepidae; 
(9) the Alemanni; (10) the Astrogoths. This list is given 
by Sir Isaac Newton, Meade, Lloyd, and others. Those ten 
kingdoms developed in history, between the years 395 and 
500, which Daniel had seen centuries before as the ten horns 
upon the fourth beast. The Visigoths, or western Goths, 
who entered Roman territory under Alaric a few months 



Cg birth of the next nation 

after the death of Theodosius in 395, finally settled in that 
part of Spain known as Portugal, and established their king- 
dom there in 472. The Franks entered Gaul, now France, 
about 407. The Burgundians entered the same country about 
413. The Gepidae were a German tribe, and so were the 
Alemanni, who subjugated that part of the country now 
known as Alsace. The Astrogoths came into Italy and es- 
tablished their kingdom there in 493. 

The seven heads of this beast were the seven supporting 
powers of the Church. The Church itself was symbolized 
as a little horn with eyes like the eyes of a man, signifying 
Episcopacy. This horn came up afterwards, as prophecy 
says, in the midst of the ten horns, an event that did take 
place when Phocus made Boniface III, (606-610 A. D.) 
universal bishop, or Pope of the whole Catholic world. 

This kingdom devised by man, was ordained of God the 
same as the others. Rom. 13:1. No more exalted idea of a 
government could be conceived, no matter how apostate it 
may have become. Its very apostacy may have had a mission. 
The Jews were destined to be punished and the fourth beast 
was created for that purpose. Their rejection of Christ as 
their elder brother and Savior merited the punishment they 
received, and the dark ages of Europe were in part the Divine 
plan of Gentile dominion. The basest of men have been 
given rule to work out the providences of God, and in this 
case the fagot, the funeral pyre, the auto-de-fes of Spain, 
the Spanish Inquisitions, and the Bartholomew massacres 
were all in line with prophecy, that the little flock of 144,000 
for ministerial work during the millennial reign might be- 
come chastened, and redeemed by sword and fire for that 
highest and holiest of all servitude during the day of judg- 
ment of one thousand years. 



Daniel's fourth king 6i 

In the year 800 the Pope separated from the Eastern 
Empire, which had decHned in power, and united with France 
under Charlemagne. In 961 Saxony, under Otho, succeeded 
France as the protecting power of the Pope. In 1024 the 
house of Franconia received the papal favor and crown. In 
925, Swabia came to the front as the supporting arm of the 
Pope. In 1450 Spain became the ruling Catholic power. In 
1713 Austria came next and held it until 1779, and from 
thence to 1792 [which completes the 1260 years after Jus- 
tinian's edict in 532] or the time when the head of the beast 
(autocracy) was wounded to death but did live again. Rev. 
13:4. This statement of John the prophet is verified by the 
return of monarchy to power again after the French Revo- 
lution in 1 789- 1 792 which was the ending of the persecution 
of the Jews, begun under Justinian 1260 years before that 
time. France became the supporting power again under the 
reign of Napoleon III. This terminated the Temporal Power 
of the Popes just 1260 years after the creation of the Holy 
Roman Empire for a purpose. And now that the Jews have 
paid double for their sins and iniquities they are to be re- 
turned in peace to the Fatherland. In the meantime the 
Churches, Catholic and Protestant, are uniting with best en- 
deavors for the destruction of all dynasties and to this end 
Christ came also: for autocracy came not of God but of the 
Devil. 



CHAPTER XI. 

John's lamb. 

Rev. 13:11. 

Five governments denominated beasts by prophecy have 
ruled since Gentile Dominion began 2520 years ago. Four 
of these governments held sway from the time of Nebuchad- 
Inezzar in 606, B. C. to that of Napoleon III, in 1870. His 
reign over France, as the eldest daughter of Daniel's Fourth 
King, was brought to an end by the change of dynasties to 
republics at that time. It was at that time absolutism lost 
out in the church by the abolishment of the Temporal power 
of the popes, for by that time the Lord had received "double" 
at the hands of the Jews for all of their sins. 

This punishment of the disobedient Jew for the cruci- 
fixion of their elder brother harks back to the time of the 
Babylonian captivity as a result of that disobedient cry for 
a king in the time of the Judges. Because of that cry, Israel 
was carried off to Babylon when Gentile dominion began for 
a period of "Seven Times" (606 B. C. to 191 5 A. D.). The 
year 191 5, therefore, gives the date for the beginning of the 
end of the Belshazzar-Hohenzollern line of kings, from the 
time of Nebuchadnezzar to William II, Rex of Germany 
inclusive. But the time of Daniel's four kingdoms extended 
only from 606 B. C. to 1870 A. D. It was at the close of 
Daniel's last kingdom (France) that John's beast with two 
horns like a lamb, was created. Rev. 13-11. For the apostle 
plainly states that it was after the fourth beast (described 

62 



John's lamb 63 

in Rev. 13:1) had ceased to exist. History in fact agrees 
with prophecy, that it was after the ''Lord had received 
'double' " for Israel's sin and iniquity. Besides prophecies 
had not met before the war of 1870, for the destruction of 
the Hne of Daniel's kings that the Jews might return to 
Palestine. It was at that time, therefore, after Jeremiah's 
Double had been fulfilled, that the command went forth, 
"Comfort ye my people; speak comfortably to Jerusalem, 
for her warfare is accomplished, her iniquity is pardoned, 
for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her 
sins." Isa. 40:20. And what people now is being blessed 
more than the Jews? 

That was a cry which made the War of 1870 a holy 
one for destroying the last of the four beasts, whose Divine 
commission was the punishment of the Jews, because of their 
cry for a king in the time of the Judges, and because of their 
crucifixion of Christ. 

During the reign of the Babylonians, Medo-Persian and 
Macedonian kings, marked favors had been shown to the 
Hebrew captives. In the time of Esther and Mordecai, the 
enemies of the Jewish race had been destroyed; otherwise 
there would have been no Zionist movement started in 1874. 
But the Jews forgot these things by the time Christ came, 
and his crucifixion made necessary that fourth king, whose 
work was to answer the cry of mockery — ''let his blood be 
on us and on our children." 

The work of the fourth beast began in earnest in 70 
A. D. when Jerusalem was razed to the ground and the Jews 
scattered among the different nations of the earth. Its work 
was still better emphasized in Justinian's edict, 529-532, which 
declared that the "guilt of murder could not be charged 



64 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

against the slaughter of unbeHevers." This edict remained in 
force by prophecy 1260 years, or until the head of the beast, 
i. e. the monarcy of France, was wounded by the French Revo- 
lution — 1 789- 1 792. This wound inflicted on the monarchy 
was done by the Republic, but the beast was not destroyed 
until 1870, when under the reign of Napoleon III, the last 
dynasty of Daniel's four kings was given to the flames. 

Had the Jews given heed to the Gospel of Christ as 
preached in its simplicity and purity by saints like Bernard 
of Clairveaux, Peter the Venerable, and by evangelists like 
Francis of Assisi, high heaven would not have permitted the 
claws of the Dragon, with its thumb-screws, its funeral 
pyres, inquisitions and auto-de-fes to become destructive of 
the race that was to evolve the twelve thousand saints from 
each of the twelve tribes of Israel for the glorious body of 
our Lord ; but He who created evil as well as good, darkness 
as well as light, had also issued an edict that "God's Disfavor" 
to his people was to continue until prophecies met, for the 
return of Israel to their Abrahamic possessions in the Father- 
land, a thing impossible of accomplishment before the Jews 
had paid "double" for all their sins and iniquities. 

Israel had always been a stiff-necked race, even under 
reigns like those of Charlemagne and Henry II of Germany. 
Their rebellions made the Temporal Power of the Popes 
under the name of the Holy Roman Empire become a Divine 
necessity. This institution as established by Phocas and 
Pope Boniface in 606 A. D. had its work performed during 
an existence also of 1260 years. Then by the Divine plan of 
the Ages, its power was abolished by Victor Emanuel, King 
of Italy, for Israel was now to become freed from the power 
of absolutism. 



John's lamb 65 

So the fifth beast, John's Lamb, had a different work to 
perform from that of the fourth beast. Its mission was to 
destroy Dragons, not Jews. As a Divine concept, it harks 
back to the time of the Jubilee Cycles, which gave Israel a 
Democratic commonwealth nearly four thousand years ago. 
As an opponent of kingcraft, it has been in a confhct with 
absolutism ever since. After the fourth beast was destroyed, 
it has been successfully paving the way of the Zionists since 
the beginning of their movement in 1874. As a destroying 
factor, John's Lamb began its work at the time Daniel saw 
thrones cast down, at the battle of Sedan on September 2, 
1870, (Dan. 7:9) and its work now has been the destruction 
of the German Dragon. The statement but recently issued 
by President Wilson, 'That there can be no status quo, ante- 
bellum condonations granted," is but the voice of prophecy 
again in the process of fulfillment. That voice is now mate- 
rializing as a sure word of prophecy by that vox populi from 
all the nations of the earth, who have drawn the sword that 
the world shall be made safe for Democracy.

CHAPTER XIL 



REPUBLICS IN PROPHECY. 



Republics have become the dominant poHtical factors 
of the present age. They have their source from the reign 
of Louis IX (1226-1270) called St. Louis. His grandson, 
Philip IV, maintained the principle that all law, justice and 
right should be sought for in the will of the Sovereign. His 
determination to bring the Church into subjection led to a 
conflict with Pope Boniface VIII, which ended in a removal 
of the papacy to Avignon, and into a subserviency of a long 
succession of French Popes to French Kings. This was the 
origin of absolutism and corruption in combination with both 
Church and State. It was this marriage of the powers that 
gave the lands of the realm into the hands of the clergy and 
of the nobility, with the taxes for running the government 
saddled upon the laboring classes. This, the original diffi- 
culty, led to the formation of republics. 

''states general." 

There were three classes of society in those earlier cen- 
turies of French history. These were the clergy, called the 
''First Estate"; the nobility, called the "Second Estate"; and 
the laboring classes, called the "Third Estate", but without 
any rights the Clergy or Nobility felt bound to respect. 

The time came finally when the King, wanting more 
votes than the Clergy would give him, advanced the rights 
of suffrage to the laboring classes, and in this he did better 
than he knew. This was the origin of the "States General." 

67 



68 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

After the King had raised such revenues as he wanted 
he paid less attention to the rights of suffrage ; but while he 
was spending the people's money and doing as he pleased, 
the peasant was thinking for himself. Even during the reign 
of Louis XIV rumbling noises were heard. In the time of 
that tyrant the poor man was getting tired of beating frog 
ponds that his lord and lady might have refreshing sleep at 
night, with nothing for himself to enjoy overmuch but menial 
servitude. 

During the time of Louis XV (171 5-1 774) princes said 
you shall, and the people obeyed. During this reign of sixty 
years the peasant ate his boiled grass and paid the taxes 
without much grumbling, but under the reign of Louis XVI 
affairs of State changed. It now came to pass when the 
people said you shall, that the princes obeyed. The opening 
of the "States General" May 5, 1789, was the beginning of 
the revolution when troubles in earnest began, sore and 
grievous, especially for Louis and Marie Antoinette. 

The French Revolution was a great political earthquake. 
It produced the wound inflicted on the monarchy, mentioned 
by John the Divine in Revelations 13:3. The loss of fifteen 
thousand lives at Nantes alone in one month, and fourteen 
thousand by the guillotine, principally at Toulon, would have 
been sufficient to have caused "all the world to wonder after 
the beast with deadly wound," meaning the French monarchy, 
as stated by that prophecy. 

"France called herself a Republic," says Creasy, on the 
20th day of September, 1792. On the very day that the 
battle of Valmy was fought, the poet Goethe was there, and 
said in a speech made to the troops: "From this place and 
from this day forth comes a new era in the world's history. 



REPUBLICS IN PROPHECY 69 

and you can all say that you were present at its birth." Goethe 
was forecasting the birth of the French Republic of 1870 
without knowing it. 

The awkward, good-natured, kind-hearted, but impo- 
tent King, and his vivacious, ill-advised, frolicsome, indis- 
creet Queen (1774- 1792) had succeeded to the hopeless pros- 
pect of a monarchy, but neither of them was fitted for the 
task before them. The one was destitute of brains, the other 
of all ideas of any moral responsibility; and both of them 
were forced to expiate in their own persons, the gross crimes 
and follies of their predecessors. 

The States General had been called by Mirabeau without 
the King's consent and with the statement "that he and his 
fellows are here by the will of the people, and no one shall 
drive them out except by the force of bayonets." 

The national parliament had not been convened since 
the days of Richelieu, in 1641 ; but the spirit of liberty had 
neither slumbered nor slept. The cry to arms on July 14, 
for the destruction of the Bastile, showed that it had been 
kept alive from the time of the first "Tiers etat." The abo- 
lition of the Monarchy on August 10, 1792, inaugurated the 
"Reign of Terror." Assassination and murder now became 
the order of the day. Louis XVI was executed January 21, 
1793, and his death was followed by that of the Queen on 
October 16. Marat,, the bloodthirsty Jacobin, fell at Paris 
by the dagger of Charlotte Corday, who won the title of 
"the angel of assassination," by that deed, on July 13th. 
Madame Roland and about thirty leading Girondists, the true 
friends of liberty, were arrested June 2nd, and suffered 
death, in some cases self-inflicted, in others by the guillotine. 

The Republic, under the directory and consulate virtu- 



yO BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

ally ended in 1799, but continued till Napoleon's election as 
Emperor, May 1804. His career lasted till his banishment 
to the Isle of Elba in 181 5, Louis Napoleon was chosen pres- 
ident by some 5,000,000 votes against 2,000,000 for his op- 
ponents. But Napoleon fooled the people and the republic 
became a monarchy again. A permanent republic could not 
be set up, however, until the death of the Eldest Daughter 
of the Church. It was decreed that absolution should begin 
its death agonies when the ''disfavor" of God towards the 
Jews was to end, that their return to Jerusalem might then 
begin. That change was to take place after the destruction 
of Daniel's Fourth Kingdom, by the war of 1870. 

The Franco-Prussian War became the Master Key to 
the situation. It was the time when Daniel saw the proph- 
ecies fulfilled, and he "beheld till thrones were cast down," 
even till now. Dan. 7:9. 

But the time had not come before that for the change 
of the Ages. Only a great work leading up to that change 
had been accomplished by the French Revolution. 

The United States of America had embodied the ''Spirit 
of '76," the glory of which was now becoming envious. The 
Dutch Republic had been its type and copy, and from that 
time passive obedience to the altar and the throne both began 
losing its hold. Greece had always stood for freedom. The 
abolishment in 1807 of serfdom and all feudal usages in 
Austria; that of slavery in England, by the Negro Emanci- 
pation Bill, of August 28, 1833; ^^"^^ freeing of 4,000,000 
slaves in America by the Emancipation Proclamation of 
Abraham Lincoln, in 1863; that by the Czar Alexander, on 
February 19, 1861, giving liberty to nearly 50,000,000 Rus- 
sian peasants, were successful achievements that had great 
influence not only on France, but on the world in general. 



REPUBLICS IN PROPHECY 7I 

The thirteenth chapter of Revelations completes the 
prophetical history of republics. John the Disciple, using the 
same symbols of the older prophet, first describes the Ten 
Horned Kingdom as was done by Daniel. In verse ii, re- 
publics take the form of a beast with two horns, like a lamb. 
It was not a lamb, but under the guise of its origin, coming 
up out of the earth, that peaceful condition of life, it "was 
like a lamb". The two horns stand for the two branches of 
the legislatures of all republics, and in all congresses and par- 
liaments of the world. 

Pastor Russell, apparently obsessed with a desire for 
the destruction of the Church of England, as one of apostacy, 
seeks to find in the two horns of this beast that of priest- 
craft and state-craft. But the symbols are not applicable. 
They apply to the civil power only. The term "dragon" as 
Pastor Russell has defined it himself, in no way makes ref- 
erence to that great Church. In verses i6 and 17 we have 
the beast in another form still. It is another expose of the 
civil power which we leave for the "Visions" of Count Leo 
Tolstoi in another chapter of this work. 

In the Divine Plan of the Ages, republics arose for the 
destruction of the Divine right of Kings and of all forms 
of autocracy. Its work began immediately after the war of 
1870. In Bismarck's North German Federation the de- 
structive factor is well exemplified in the efforts made by 
August Bebel and other socialists in the Reichstag, and by 
Dr. Windhorst and others also of the Church. They were 
disintegrating factors, so troublesome the German Emperor 
could have wished he had no parliament, and the Reichstag 
probably wished the same as to William. 

The leaven of republicanism has changed the general 



72 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

trend of thought in all the monarchies of Europe. It has 
not only rendered royalties in England and Italy negligible 
qualities almost, but it has completely overturned political 
rule in other governments. Brazil became a Republic in a 
day's time. It gave Prussia a Duma, in 1905; in 1910 Port- 
ugal changed to a Republic, and later still it drove abso- 
lutism from its throne in China. It overturned the Diaz dic- 
tatorship in Mexico, and has become so popular in Japan 
and in Turkey as to make those countries envious of the more 
desirable form of political rule. In Russia a dispute has 
arisen but we have faith in prophecy, and believe the Divine 
concept in the form of John's Lamb will yet obtain. 
Rev. 13:11. 

The proclamation of republican liberty, with personal 
rights to all people, was the "good tidings of great joy" to 
the whole world. Autocracy from that time was doomed. 
Liberty was announced to every captive. The new dispen- 
sation had now set in, and governmental reforms began. The 
abolition of standing armies and their burdensome taxes be- 
came the subject of dispute. The abolition of titled aristoc- 
racy followed. Abolition of landlordism was demanded. 
Calls for temperance reforms, now world wide, were made. 
Law and order societies had been chaining men from enslav- 
ing their fellow beings in many ways. Humane and anti- 
cruelty societies have been doing a great work since that 
time. Anti-adulteration societies have been looking after the 
health of the people, while laws innumerable have been made 
in the interests of all the working classes. Republics men- 
tioned above have done their part quite valiantly fighting 
against monarchies. It was for that purpose they were cre- 
ated about fifty years ago. Their slogan has been that of 
the prophet. "Cursed be he that keepeth back his sword 



REPUBLICS IN PROPHECY 73 

from blood," (Jer. 48-10) and in obedience to that other 
injunction (Jer. 30-11). They have been making a "full end 
of all dynasties" for popular governments instead. They 
wounded to death the last monarchy under the Old Regime 
by the French Revolution of 1789- 1792, and now, since the 
time of the movement Zionward in 1874, the destruction of 
kingcraft, in toto, is determined upon. 

The Franco-Prussian war in 1870 produced two of the 
greatest results known to history. It gave rise to the present 
conflict for making the world safe for Democracy, but that 
was only preparatory. The destruction of the present Dragon, 
the greatest one of all, from Nebuchadnezzar to William 
II Rex of Germany, came in finally as a part of the Divine 
Plan of the Ages. As the autocratic end-man of the Bel- 
shazzar-Hohenzollern time of kings, the reign of William 
completes the "Seven Times" period of Gentile Dominion. 

Finis Germany! With the abdication of the Kaiser, 
Modern Germany collapses, and there is no apostolic suc- 
cession. With that abdication imperial dignity passes away. 
It is gone forever. It took its rise forty years ago, when 
Bismarck was the dominant figure, after Germany had tri- 
umphed over Denmark, Austria and France, and when the 
constitution of the German Empire was formed on the i6th 
day of the fifth month of 187 1. It was short lived. Its 
decease occurred on the eleventh hour of the eleventh da}/" 
of the eleventh month of the year 1918. It was at that hour 
the guns fired their last salvo into the ranks of the enemy. 
Then its arrogant war-lord and his eldest son took their 
ignominious flight. Thrones now began to fall, in proof 
of prophecy, and as a fitting tribute to the destruction of the 
last and mightiest military power of Gentile dominion on 
earth. 



CHAPTER XIII. 

VISIONS OF COUNT LEO TOLSTOY. 

(New York Sun, August 9, 1914.) 

TOLSTOY PREDICTED PRESENT CONFLICT IN I9IO. 

In January, 191 3, the Countess Nastasia Tolstoy sent to 
the American press the following letter: 

"I have the honor to hand you my interview with the late 
Count Leo Tolstoy, had with him some months before his 
death. I authorize you to make use of it for the first time, 
the original copy having been presented to his Majesty the 
Czar, Hoping that the American reading public will be in- 
terested to learn about the prophecies of the greatest genius 
of our age, I am respectfully yours, Tolstoy. 

She then describes the manner in which she obtained the 
interview. In the autumn of 1910 the Czarina had invited 
the Countess to visit her at her summer place at Peterhof. 
She was summoned into the presence of the Czar, who ex- 
plained that he had a confidential mission he wished her to 
undertake for him. He said that the German Kaiser and the 
King of England had expressed a wish for a direct message 
from the old Count Leo Nicolaievich Tolstoy. Being on un- 
friendly terms with the Count and knowing that the Countess 
was a relative (a grandniece), he asked her to assist him. 

"Tell him," he said, "that if he will in a friendly way send 
a message through you to me I will send it on to the King of 

74 



VISIONS OF COUNT LEO TO'STOY 75 

England and the Kaiser of Germany. It must be something 
that he has not pubHshed before and that he will never publish 
himself." 

A week later, being a guest at her uncle's she delievered the 
Czar's message, and the following is the conversation given 
in her own words as it took place between them : 

''Very strange," said Tolstoy. *'I would be glad to send a 
message to royalty, but the trouble with me is that I have writ- 
ten all my life messages for the mob. I am not accustomed to 
the conventions of court diction. However, I will think the 
matter over." 

"Leo Nicolaievich, don't you have any visions of a political 
nature, or any prophecies on a large international scale?" I 
asked. 

"A good idea!" he exclaimed. "I have had some really 
strange experiences which I could not publish as fiction. 
There is something that has haunted me for the past two 
years. I don't know how to explain the nature of it to you. 

"I cannot call it a dream, because I have seen it often while 
I have been sitting at my writing table. On other occasions 
it has appeared to me at twilight, before my dinner hour. I 
am not a believer in ghosts, nor in the spiritualistic explana- 
tions of phenomena ; but I admit that I cannot account for this 
mysterious affair." 

"Is it a vision?" I interrupted. 

"Something of that order, but very clear. So clear that 
I could draw a distinct picture of all that transpires. Fur- 
thermore, I can call up the vision at will. I am almost sure 
I could do it while you are here. The only difficulty is that 
I am not able to write anything during the time of the mani- 
festation. My hands are absolutely paralyzed." 



76 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

"I shall be happy to write down what you dictate," I urged. 

''Very good! That settles the matter," he replied. "I 
shall try for something immediately. Here on the table are 
paper and pencil. Or use a pen — whatever you want." 

In a few minutes I was waiting for the great moment, 
pencil and paper in hand. My aged host leaned back in his 
chair, covered his eyes with his hand and relapsed into an 
apparently comatose condition. For ten minutes he remained 
absolutely motionless. Then, straightening up like one in a 
trance, he began in a low and hollow voice : 

"This is a revelation of events of a universal character 
which must shortly come to pass. Their spiritual outlines 
are now before my eyes. I see floating upon the surface of 
the sea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude woman. 
She is — with her beauty, her poise, her smile, her jewels — a 
super-Venus. 

"Nations rush madly after her, each of them eager to 
attract her especially. But she, like an eternal courtesan, 
flirts with all. In her hair ornaments of diamonds and 
rubies is engraved her name: 'Commercialism.' As allur- 
ing and bewitching as she seems, much destruction and agony 
follows in her wake. Her breath, reeking of sordid trans- 
actions, her voice of metallic character like gold, and her look 
of greed are so much poison to the nations who fall victims 
to her charms. 

"And behold, she has three gigantic arms with three 
torches of universal corruption in her hand. The first torch 
represents the flame of war, that the beautiful courtesan car- 
ries from city to city and country to country. Patriotism 
answers with flashes of honest flame, but the end is the roar 
of guns and musketry. 



VISIONS OF COUNT LEO TO'STOY yj 

"The second torch bears the flame of bigotry and hypoc- 
risy. It carries the lamps only in temples and on the altars 
of sacred institutions. It carries the seed of falsity and 
fanaticism. It kindles the minds that are still in cradles and 
follows them to their graves. 

"The third torch is that of the law, that dangerous founda- 
tion of all unauthentic traditions, which first does its fatal 
work in the family, then sweeps through the larger worlds 
of literature, art and statesmanship. 

"The great conflagration will start about 19 12, set by 
the torch of the first arm in the countries of southeastern 
Europe. It will result in a destructive calamity in 191 3. 

"In that year I see all Europe in flames and bleeding. I 
hear the lamentations of huge battlefields. But about the 
year 191 5 a strange figure from the north — a new Napoleon 
— enters the stage of the bloody drama. 

"He is a man of little militaristic training, a writer or a 
journalist, but in his grip most of Europe will remain till 1925. 
The end of the great calamity will mark a new political era 
for the Old World. 

"There will be left no empires and kingdoms, but the 
world will form a federation of the United States of Nations, 
There will remain only four great giants — the Anglo-Saxons, 
the Latins, the Slavs and the Mongolians." 

The Countess closes her communication by saying : 

"The late author reformer finished, opened his eyes and 
looked at me slightly confused. 

" 'Had I gone to sleep ?' he asked me. T beg your pardon.' 

"When I read this vision talk to him he listened gravely 
and nodded, saying that it was correct. Upon my request he 
signed the document and handed it to me with a blessing. I 



78 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

left him the same day, and immediately upon my arrival in- 
formed the Czar of my readiness to see him. 

'*! was received at the court in an informal way and led 
into the Czar's private study. I handed him the paper. He 
opened it nervously and read with pronounced agitation. 

" 'Well, it's very interesting. I will make a copy for my- 
self, and then forward other copies with a translation to the 
Kaiser of Germany and through him to the King of England. 

" 'The original shall be kept in my private archives. I shall 
ask the Kaiser and the King not to make any comments on the 
matter, as I do not like to figure as an intermediary between 
them and the old man whose seditious writings I do not like, 
generally.' 

"It is because I have heard that one of the royal princi- 
pals is going to include the secret message in his private 
memoirs that I take this opportunity of publishing the whole 
truth about it and how I received the unusual document. The 
Czar has told me repeatedly that the Kaiser of Germany 
thinks it is one of the most impressive literary prophecies of 
this age." 



CHAPTER XIV 



THE BEAST IN BERLIN 



Like Santa Claus, Satan goes from place to place. In 
'1 870 he left the old regime and went to Berlin. A change 
of heart drove him into the Protestant fold and now he is a 
Bolshevist. 

On September 20, 1870, eighteen days after the battle of 
Sedan, the troops of Victor Emanuel — God with us — entered 
Rome and then the ten STATES OF THE CHURCH were 
annexed to Italy. On October 2, the people cast 40,835 to 
46 votes against papal rule, and then the king declared that 
''the temporal power of the popes was abolished and would 
remain so." That was the death knell of the papal hierarchy. 

Those 40,835 votes did the work. It was a voice from 
the people, not from the throne. As a voice from hearts and 
consciences of the people, it was suggestive of that day "when 
counsellors will be restored as at the first, and judges as at 
the beginning." Isa. 1 126. Vox populi Dei, therefore, 
was the beginning of the New Era. It was the pivotal poitit 
around which the ages turned. 

Under the old regime everything was done in the open. 
Nothing was concealed and nothing was hid from public view. 

In 1870 John the Divine saw this same old Beast assume 
a new form and then come up out of the earth, snake-like, and 
thereafter everything was camouflaged in secrecy. The 
prophet described it as " a Beast with two horns like a lamb;" 
Rev. 13: II. It was not a lamb, but lamb-like, having been 
seen coming up out of the earth, that peaceful condition of 

79 



8o BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

life, to deceive its purpose as a dragon. Under the old regime 
this Beast fastened its claws on the Church to corrupt and 
destroy the teachings of Holy Writ. But under the New- 
Regime it lay hold of the two branches — two horns — of all 
legislative bodies in republics to destroy the foe of its own 
existence. Its latter career was begun when the republic of 
France was formed in 1870, and it will end when Bolshevism 
is destroyed, when the Beast and the False Prophet are con- 
signed to the flames. 

When Satan fell from Heaven because he could not as- 
cend above the stars he found a resting place in a dynastic 
stronghold, and that is the reason he is a Hun. It was nat- 
ural he should take up his abode with William the Last in the 
Bundesrath, where consultations could be constantly held 
and the mind of the Emperor continually overpowered by 
his malign influences. Bismarck became subject to this in- 
spiration which accounts for his "blood and iron" policy, and 
of the growth of the Krupp Gun Works at Essen where the 
40,000 electric bulbs gave spiritual light to illuminate the 
great minds at Potsdam when the war was planned. With 
such aids it was not difficult to understand how a world-wide 
conquest of the earth was to be made. 

The fight against republics originated in the Bundes- 
rath. From those headquarters poisonous propaganda di- 
rected the work. Not only force was to be used, but lies were 
to be told with gold dust to blind the people whenever needed. 
I legislation was to be controlled. Not as of yore when 
kings and great lords of the earth were crowned and un- 
crowned by the popes of the Church, but rulers were to be 
made to order. Money kings were to buy them up. An age 
of commercialism, not of religion, ruled the world now. 



THE BEAST IN BERLIN 8l 

Whole legislatures were to become dragonized, the chief fac- 
tors were to hold sway in Church pews while directing their 
agencies in the halls of Congress; and while their money- 
buyers kept busy they were to pray without ceasing. Dur- 
ing the present war the Devil has made about 35,000 million- 
aires all told so the gossips say, and he has done it largely as 
a Christian gentleman and for the good of the country. 

The fight against imperialism was made in the Reich- 
stag. Von Windhorst and other friends of liberty made 
AVilliam wish he had no Reichstag and their wish was the 
same as to the Emperor. Von Windhorst was a representa- 
tive of the Vatican, prime minister of Hanover, a strong an- 
tagonist of militarism and a bitter foe of Bismarck. Under 
the old regime the Beast guillotined heretics because they 
were not Catholics but in these latter times more Catholics 
than other folks were killed. Von Bissing, Governor Gen- 
eral of Belgium, killed everybody that would not worship the 
Beast. Rev. 13: 16-17. He made Flanders over into a 
graveyard and the land of Belgium a burning hell that both 
body and soul might be destroyed. Von Bissing was only 
one of the many arch fiends who did the bidding of the Devil 
and his son Wilhelm. 

Emperor William no doubt verily believed he was Jeho- 
\ah's sword. It was a conviction forced upon him by the 
Devil. It was a strong delusion and accounts for him ful- 
filling St. Paul's description of Anti-Christ. As a fulfill- 
ment of that prophecy, hear the blasphemer in his own words : 

"I am Jehovah's sword. Remember you (my army) I 
am God's elect for this work of mine. God's spirit has de- 
scended on me because I am Emperor of Germany. I am Je- 
hovah's sword, His representative instrument of the Most 



82 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

High. Woe and death to those who resist my will and to all 
who do not believe my mission and to cowards in my army. 
The enemies of the German people shall perish. God com- 
mands their destruction. He it is, through me, commands 
you to fulfil my will." H Thes. 2 : 3-4. 

But now the former Kaiser is more worried over the ex- 
pectation of a visitation from the HohenzoUern family ghost 
than over the prospects that a tribunal of the five great pow- 
ers who will try him for his crimes, according to the Watch 
on the Rhine, a newspaper which gives the following history 
of that apparition (the HohenzoUern Ghost). The paper 
says: 

"The Kaiser in his haven of refuge at Amerongen may suffer from dys- 
pepsia, ear trouble, paralysis, nightmares of St. Helena and strange visita- 
tions, but if we are able to believe reports his greatest agony comes from his 
expectations of a visit from the 'White Lady,' the family ghost of the Hohen- 
zollerns. The appearance of the 'White Lady' is supposed to portend the 
death of the monarch whom she visits. For many centuries past stories have 
been told of her appearance before the rulers of Prussia just before their 
death. 

"There are many stories of the origin of this apparition. The tale most 
widely accepted is that the 'White Lady' was Conigunda, Countess von Plas- 
senburg. When but a girl she was married against her will to an old count, 
Sigmund von Plassenburg, who died a few years later. Free then to do as 
she chose, she fell in love with Albert of Nuremburg, one of the ancestors of 
the House of HohenzoUern, but he did not return her love. Thinking that he 
objected to her two children, she had them slain. But instead of marrying 
her Albert had her seized tried and condemned to death. 

"When the time for her execution came she pronounced this curse on 
Albert: 'When you come to die I shall be there to haunt you, and no member 
of your family and your descendants but shall be troubled by me at the time 
of his death.' 

"The first appearance of the ghost to any of the HohenzoUern dynasty, so 
far as we can learn from history and legend, was at the time of the death of 
John George of Brandenburg, in 1598. From that time on she is purported to 
have appeared many times. When Frederick William, the father of Fred- 
erick the Great, was an old man, ill and half starved, the family Nemesis ap- 
peared to him — a tall figure in white with arms outstretched. He died two 
days later. 

"It is said that Frederick the Great laughed at the superstition and de- 
clared he would like to meet the 'White Lady.' According to the story, he 
heard a swish of garments behind him and turning, beheld a white-clad phan- 
tom. The King advanced toward the spirit half suspecting some trick, yet 
half in terror, but it finally vanished. Four days later he died.

"In 1840, just before the death of King Frederick, a whole detachment of 
the palace guard is said to have seen the 'White Lady.' And when old William 
I died servants and guardsmen alike assert that they saw the apparition. 
The 'White Lady' is also reputed to have put in her appearance when the Kai- 
ser's father was nearing his end." 

It would seem from the above, that when the Kaiser fled 
from his job in Berlin the firm of "Me and Gott" dissolved 
partnership. 




CHAPTER XV 



SATAN S HAND REVEALED. 



The war of 191 5 just closed, with the collapse of four em- 
pires involving the lives and fortunes of 321,000,000 people, 
took its rise in a cry for kingcraft 2,500 years ago. That cry 
evolved a monarchy for the State in 606 B. C. and a rule of 
absolutism for the Church in 606 A. D. It all resulted in a 
Gentile Dominion of Seven Times (606 B. C. to 1915 A. D.) 
for the State and an autocratical sway over the ecclesiastic 
affairs of the Church for Three and One-Half Times, or 
from 606 A. D. to 1870, A. D. 

To suppose events so momentous took their rise from 
sources other than from high places of wickedness would 
hardly measure up to the results attained. 

Only the wicked one himself could have so successfully 
planned the overthrow of the old Commonwealth of Israel. 
To him, therefore, and to the work of his beasts we must look 
for the solution of this question. 

From the time Eve was deceived Satan's object has been 
to destroy both Church and State. His poisonous propa- 
ganda completely destroyed the pre-Noachian government; 
they brought destruction to the Divine plans of a rule by Cy- 
cles, the results of which brought about this last war. But 
Satan's fight against the Jews, from the time of the Abra- 
hamic covenant, until their ascendancy began in 1874; and 
from that time until their restoration in 1925 for his own ex- 
istence in the autocratic world, is the subject in particular just 
now. Under that regime an incarnation of Satanism held 

84 



Satan's hand revealed , 85 

sway throughout the whole reign of Daniel's Fourth Dynasty 
from the time the fig tree was cursed and until God's disfa- 
vor was removed by the wholesale Emancipation of the Jews 
of Algiers in 1871. Up to that time prophesy refers all ma- 
lign influences to the work of Daniel's Beast, Chapter 7. Af- 
ter the change of the Ages, that same old Beast changed his 
form to adapt his work to the requirements of a Protestant 
rule, and as outlined in the thirteenth chapter of the Book of 
Revelations, but the two Beasts were the same. The first 
beast materialized when the cross of Christ first appeared. 
And then a fight began of which we will now speak. 

It was during those earlier years of the first century of 
our Christian Era that those ten tribal nations before men- 
tioned, formed their respective governments. Under the be- 
nign influence of Christianity they also became awakened to 
the needs of a righteous form of rule which in time led to a 
primacy under their respective bishops for the propagation of 
the Gospel of Good News. 

The cross of Christ had arisen in the East and nations 
were bowing before it. Life eternal had come from a sight 
of that cross, and that was a menace to Satanism. Death to 
sin was its portent, and as it was a living God now to believe 
in and not a dead one, as in the days of the other Roman gods, 
Satan aroused himself for the destruction of the new faith. 

During those earlier years a strong fight had to be made 
against the gods of heathenism from the time the worshipers 
of Zeus, Alexander's god, down through the ages until the 
close of the Diocletian persecution, in particular, which ended 
in 305, A. D., but the followers of the new faith were equal to 
the occasion. The disciples of Christ proclaimed the new 
doctrine everywhere. St. Peter and St. Paul preached 



86 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Christ and nothing else. It was Christ and him crucified by 
all the disciples. It was the theme for Polycarp, the disciple 
of St. John, for Clement and for all the other Church Fathers. 
The missionaries of Francis of Assissi traveled over Egypt. 
North Africa, Spain, France, Germany, Hungary and Eng- 
land. Later preachers like Bonaventura, Anselm, Peter the 
Venerable and St. Bernard of Clairvaux, never tired preach- 
ing the Word. And Satan became a disciple too. 

THE OLD BEAST 

In 529, Justinian became Emperor in the East. In 532 
he issued his famous decree, which declared that the guilt of 
murder could not be charged against the slaughter of unbe- 
lievers. He verily thought he was doing God's service and 
Satan's much sought opportunity had come. He had sig- 
nally failed under the premiership of Mordecai, but now the 
Jews were proscribed and everything looked propitious. As 
a race the Jew was despised because of his sins and iniquities. 
He had first discovered the Deity, then crucified the Son. 
He deserved death. His prayers had been when mocking his 
elder brother on the cross, "Let his blood be on us and our 
children," and that prayer was now to be answered. 

That was the beginning of the era of gloom and sadness 
for the children of promise, and it was no wonder Jesus wept 
over Jerusalem. But it was by the way of sorrow and per- 
secution the salvation of that people had to be evolved. The 
I2,cx)0 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel for the 
144,000, as the chosen elect left no other way, because of the 
sin of unbelief, for an entrance into the highway of holiness, 
but by the rack, the thumb-screw, the funeral pyre and by the 
auto-de-fes and Spanish inquisition, which seem to us now 



Satan's hand revealed 87 

as horrible methods for the conversion of the sinner. But 
God, who created evil as well as good, darkness as well as 
light, permitted autocracy to hold sway over the consciences 
of the world from the time of Justinian 529-532 to 1789- 1792, 
a period of 1,260 years. But after the reign of Louis XVI, 
the books of France were freed from those cruel statistics 
and thus the times and the dividing of times by prophesy 
ended the life of those horrible methods of punishment by Di- 
vine appointment. 

THE CHURCH DRAGONIZED 

Satan fought for the Divine right of kings from the time 
of the Captivity in 606 B. C. From the year 606 A. D., until 
1870, the dragon had his claws on the Church. It was at 
that time the Devil inspired Phocus 606-610 to murder the 
emperor and ascend the throne himself. Then Boniface III, 
having crowned the parricide, was, in return for the bless- 
ing, made Universal Bishop. 

The papal hierarchy, spoken of by Daniel 7:8, took its 
iniative from that event. Gregory I., when quoted by Bishop 
Strossmayer, 1,260 years later, at the Ecumenical Council in 
St. Peter's, Rome, said anyone taking upon himself the title 
of Universal Bishop was anti-Christ. Martin Luther says 
this was the origin of the temporal power of the Popes and as 
that power was abolished three and one-half times after- 
wards, prophesy became verified. 

It was between the years 610 and 1870, the Holy Roman 
Empire, so called, held sway. Under Charlemagne's reign 
no better form of government ever existed. Could all the 
kings of those Dark Ages have been like Charlemagne and 



88 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Henry II, and the Pontificate made up of clerics and monks 
like Anselm and St. Bernard, no objection could ever have 
been made against the marriage of the powers of State and 
Church. But the Beast of autocracy would not have it that 
way. Charlemagne would have no lord Pope over him. Un- 
der his reign the King and the Pope worked harmoniously to- 
gether but along parallel lines only. Under the imperial 
sway of that great ruler, the Church was protected, her pre- 
rogatives were guarded, but as a defender of the faith the 
faithful were compelled to give obedience to the State the 
same as to the Church. Over affairs temporal, Charlemagne 
regarded his own reign of equal importance to that of the 
Pope, and not any less so than that of his Holiness, who was 
the Vicar of Christ, over affairs spiritual. That he did not 
consider the Pope infallible is evident from the kingly way he 
sometimes rebuked him. 

Under the reign of the temporal power of the Popes, all 
this was changed. The Church now became a hierarchy. 
Because of that change England was the first of that ten- 
Kingdomed Church broken. It originated in a quarrel 
between Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Henry I, 
king of England, over the question of lay investitures. It was 
that old quarrel from the beginning which in the time of 
Henry II resulted in the murder of Thomas a Becket, now 
St. Thomas. And it continued down through the centuries 
to the time of Henry VIII, when the clergy of the English 
realm renounced their allegiance to the Pope of Rome. 

France was the last of the ten horns to be broken. That 
work was accomplished largely by pontiffs of the vilest class. 

During the times of Tiberius and Caligula reappeared 
potentates of the Church with frightful corruptions prevail- 



Satan's hand revealed 89 

ing. The reign of harlots was brief but terrific. It led to a 
very great degradation of the papacy. 

Prior to the violent taking of the papal chair by Sergius 
III, 904 A. D., there had been nine Popes in thirteen years. 
One had died so hated his body was disinterred, stripped, mu- 
tilated and thrown into the Tiber. His successor was twice 
deposed for scandalous wickedness and his successor was 
strangled in prison. Pope Leo V, 903, reigned two months, 
was thrown into prison by one of his presbyters, who in turn 
was ignominiously expelled in less than one year. Under Ser- 
gius came Theodora. The mother and her two daughters, 
Theodora and Marozia, dissolute women of the lowest type, 
but who for years governed the pontificate, bestowing upon 
it their lovers and bastard sons. Theodora, the elder, under 
the name of John X, made one of her lovers Pope in 914, but 
Marozia had him surprised in the Lateran palace, thrown into 
prison, and later suffocated with pillows. Shortly after that, 
a son of her own, whose reputed father was Pope Sergius, 
was raised to the pontificate under the title of John XI. A lit- 
tle later he was thrown into prison, where he languished until 
his death. At last came John XII, the grandson of this same 
woman. He was raised to the papacy by heavy bribery at 
the age of nineteen years, ^56 A. D. By him the pontifical 
palace was turned into a vast school of prostitution. Devout 
women, through fear, no longer made pilgrimages to Rome. 
This foul desperado was murdered in an adulterous rendez- 
vous by the dagger of the injured husband and died without 
the sacraments. 

The Pope Benedicts were largely like those just named. 
Benedict V was degraded and banished; Benedict VI was 
strangled in a dungeon ; Benedict VII put Boniface to death in 



90 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

the castle of St. Angelo and seated himself in the papal chair. 
At last came Benedict IX, the worst of them all. He was 
raised to the papacy at the age of twelve years. Victor III, 
one of his successors, declared he led a life so foul and execra- 
ble he shuddered to describe it. 

It is not difficult to imagine what the Devil wanted with 
Popes like those to sit, blazing in purple and gold on a lofty 
throne. Drunkenness, robbery and brigandage was a general 
curse in the Churches, while the general impression prevailed 
that everything in Rome was venal. To a fearful extent 
drunkenness was the habit in the monasteries and vices viler 
than drunkenness were common. Therein arose those cess- 
pools of iniquity, which not only resulted in the abolition of 
monasteries, but in the loss of those valuable libraries which 
the monks of prior ages had written and transcribed for 
medieval Europe. 

The downfall of Ireland in ii 52-1 172 can be attributed 
to those causes. This trouble also had its origin in an illicit 
love affair and resulted in a nest of bastards of the lowest and 
vilest kind coming into possession of Irish lands as English 
lords, whose descendants are now great men, so said. 

In II 52, the tyrant, Dermot, the last king of Leinster, 
was driven from his kingdom for kidnapping the Lady De- 
voorghill, wife of O'Ruarc, King of Breffny's Castle. The 
exiled monarch sought aid of Henry II, to be restored to his 
throne at Ferns and Henry wanting a lordship over Ireland, 
gave Strongbow and his cousin, — Germans — relatives in 
South Wales, privileges to hew out for themselves fortunes 
from that fair land if they would conquer it for England and 
the Pope. Adrian IV, the only Pope England ever had, was 
seated in the papal chair at that time. And, he wanting the 



Satan's hand revealed 91 

one denarius from each house in Ireland, gave Henry II his 
blessing on the enterprise. Then Strongbow made the inva- 
sion — The Fitz-Geralds, Fitz-Henrys, the Fitz-Stephens tak- 
ing part with him as leaders in the conquest, all being descend- 
ants of Nest, daughter of Rhes ap Tudor, king of South 
Wales. The Fitz-Geralds were descendants of Gerald of 
Windsor by Nest, Strongbow being a member of that same 
family. The Fitz-Henrys were sons of Nest by Henry I of 
England and the Fitz-Stephens of Stephen of Abertivi by 
that same infamous Venus. They were all a lot of ruined 
knights of the baser sort and a batch of bastards out of the 
same nest. And that was the way English lords came into 
possession of Irish lands. As a lot of degenerates, it prop- 
erly headed the line of the ducal ring down through the cen- 
turies to Henry VIII, the most noted wife murderer in the 
annals of history. 

Strongbow married Eva, daughter of Dermot, king of 
Leinster, and inherited the rights of succession. His de- 
scendants, the Fitz-Geralds, came into possession of large 
landed estates in Ireland. Hugo-de-Lacy, another Fitz-Ger- 
ald, had the whole province of Meath given to him, likewise 
all the other knights fared sumptuously at the expense of Old 
Erin. John de Courcy attempted to hew out possessions for 
himself in the province of Ulster, but was not so successful 
as some of the rest. Giraldus Cambrensus, afterwards an 
aspirant for the Bishopric of St. David, was also a member 
of the Gerald family. He was a fluent writer and his his- 
tory of Ireland tells all about St. Patrick's purgatory in the is- 
land of Lough Derg, a place he visited, but one now without 
an existence. He also says Thomas a Becket made eyes that 
could see in the dark. He said that in favor of the canoniza- 



92 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

tion of the chancellor, because Henry II would not advance 
him, (Giraldus) to the head of his See. 

In the Irish conquests, the old Keltic Church came under 
the dominion of the Norman lords, the same as the lands of 
the realm. It had its beginning in the Sixth Century and 
from that time to the invasion held aloof from the Church of 
Rome. They were regarded by the papal hierachy as a 
heathen lot needing conversion by the spear and the battle ax 
the same as things temporal in that kingdom. They had 
their colleges or institutions of learning, but they observed a 
different Easter, had a different tonsure, had no confes- 
sional, never paid Peter's pence to Rome and, as was supposed, 
needed the righteous drubbing they got. In the subjection 
of Ireland to England, the Churches in the main became 
obedient to the rules of Canterbury, but the province of Ul- 
ster remained stubborn. She has always been Protestant. 
She not only would not pay canonical obedience to the Church 
of England then, but has continued in that doctrine of faith 
taught her by St. Columba, who came to Ireland in the Sixth 
Century, and brought the faith of Presbyterians to that prov- 
ince of Ulster, the faith she holds to this day, hence the rea- 
son for no Home Rule in Ireland. Ulster has always re- 
garded Romanism as that power which was so relentless and 
terrible and so exceedingly cruel it could not be named, only 
described. The prophet symbolized it, therefore, as a seven- 
headed, ten-horned monster, that crowned and uncrowned 
kings at will during those 1,260 years. In 1870 John the Di- 
vine saw this same beast change its form and fasten its 
claws on republics and under another guise its work is de- 
scribed by him during these last times in the 13th chapter of 
Revelations. 



CHAPTER XVI 

TIMES AND THE DIVIDING OF TIMES. 

Ever since Satan went walking to and fro up and down in 
the earth in Job's day, his mundane connection with affairs 
supernal has been with limitations. His beastly incarnation 
with the Church was limited to times and the dividing of 
times in particular. From the years, (529-532) to (1789- 
1792) he was as much restrained from touching the hfe of 
the Jewish race as he had been that of Job's life ; and likewise 
during the following 1,260 years when all autocratic power 
was in his own hands, an unseen hand preserved the elect, un- 
til the disfavor of God was removed, and the Jews started 

Zionward. Then came the change of the Ages in 1870 

But after his autocratic stronghold was destroyed, 

in 1870, he went to Berlin changing his citadel from the 
Church to the State. During the year 191 1, the Church, not 
understanding fully the blessing that would come to her by, 
the loss of the temporal power, sought by prayer its restora- 
tion ; and again during the war the autocratic supporters of 
the German Government sought to regain what President 
Wilson vetoed, as a restoration of that power by stoutly af- 
firming there could be no ante-bellum statu-quo condonations 
granted. Now the autocratic stronghold in both Church and 
State is forever destroyed, the seal of disappointment against 
the sympathizers of Germany as well as against the enemies 
of the Church is affixed, for nothing autocratic can have Di- 
vine approval. 

It will be noticed that the ending of the papal hierarchy 

93 



94 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

was the beginning of the reign of the Beast in the State, both 
having their initiative from the time of the Episode, in 606- 
610 A. D. The conquest of Austria-Hungary in 1866, was 
only a deep laid scheme by Satan that he might have a citadel 
in Berlin after being reft of his power in the Church. Other- 
wise the hellish purpose of making the Double Monarchy a 
buffer kingdom for the conquest, first of France, then of the 
European World, would not have been entertained by the 
Majesties of Germany at all. 

Therefore the Franco-Prussian War taking its initiative 
in the years 1866, 1870, for a reign of the Beast over the 
whole of the European World was just 1,260 years also, 
from the years 606-610, when Phocas, the parricide, ascended 
the throne and Boniface III became Universal Bishop. Thus 
the atrocities of the Beast never ceased. They only changed 
from Church to State. By the curse thus brought on the 
State all the smaller dominions east of Austria-Hungary 
and from Danzig to the sea, became dragonized. These lit- 
tle Balkan States, for a stretch of a thousand miles, were 
made to feel the ruthlessness of a relentless power that they 
might have no dependence except in servitude to the Germanic 
powers. That subservience was to be made complete by the 
language of these people being restrained, by their personal 
liberties taken away, nothing should be left but abject igno- 
rance of a brute creation that rule over them might be less 
troublesome to their imperial masters. 

Such was the case in the rule of the Beast before the old 
regime was changed to the new. As an autocratic fiend be- 
fore the change of the ages, the consciences of the people the 
same as their personal Hberties, were degraded by a menial 
servitude which accounts for that Satanic reign of a thousand 



TIMES AND THE DIVIDING OF TIMES 95 

years without any Bibles in the land. It was a servitude by 
a degradation of mind, soul and body. During that long 
period of a famine, for the want of the Bread of Life, lay 
members of the Church could do penance, but need not re 
pent. They could study legends, and fables, but not the Bible. 
Then, not as now, no man could worship God under his own 
vine and fig tree, without endangering his life. That free- 
dom was not permitted. Under the pontificate of Pius IX, 
the last of the line of that papal hierarchy, Bible associations 
were declared damnable ; so far-reaching was that baneful in- 
fluence, not more than one person out of every four in Mex- 
ico today could read a Bible if he had one. Now an enlight- 
ened Church is coming to the front. But Satan having done 
his work then God called a halt. The time and the dividing 
of times for the old Beast's reign had come to an end. The 
following chapter will show how it was done. 



CHAPTER XVII 

A SCENE IN ST. PETER's, ROME. 

At the close of the Ecumenical Council at Rome in the 
year 1870, there occurred a scene that will always find a 
place in Church history. It was an event which the prophets 
themselves must have noted. 

On that occasion Pope Pius IX declared himself infalli- 
ble. It was a proclamation for the world in general and to the 
Church in particular. The dogma was read on July 18, 1870. 

It was a notable day also in other respects. A letter had 
been sent on July 13th by Napoleon III to Cardinal Antonelli 
saying he must take his troops away from Rome where they 
had been stationed to protect the Pope since 1859, with the 
exception of a short period in 1866. That letter was followed 
by a telegram on the 25th of July, ordering his troops to leave 
Rome at once, as he needed their aid in his war with Germany. 

On the same day, the 13th, the troops were ordered to 
leave Rome. The 666 bishops of the Church (counting the 
Pope with the rest) declared Pius IX infallible. 

Five days later they were assembled again, great prepa- 
rations having been made in the meantime for the occasion. 

The Pope was seated on a grand throne erected in front 
of the eastern window in St. Peter's, with his 665 bishops be- 
fore him. Cardinal Gibbons being the youngest bishop of them 
all. In that conclave sat some of the delegates who had op- 
posed the dogma, Bishop Strossmayer, in particular. He had 
declared to that venerable body of prelates that after a careful 
search among the eleven hundred bishops, who assisted at the 

96 



A SCENE IN ST. PETER S, ROME 97 

first six general councils, no trace of a Pope in the apostolic 
line of succession could be found in the first four centuries. 

Bishop Strossmayer also raised the voice of history 
against the infallibility of Popes. He gave a number of ex- 
amples showing that some Popes had erred. Pope Victor 
(192) first approved Montanism and then condemned it. 
Marcellinus (296-303) was an idolator. He entered into the 
Temple of Vesta and offered incense to the goddess. A 
Vicar of Christ would not have done that. Tiberius (358) 
consented to the condemnation of Athanasius, and made a 
profession of Aryanism that he might be recalled from his 
exile and reinstated to his See. Honorious (625) adhered 
to Monathelism. Father Grady has proved it. Gregory I 
(578-90) calls anyone Anti-Christ who takes the name of 
Universal Bishop. And contrarywise Boniface HI (607-8) 
made the parricide Emperor Phocus confer that title on him. 
Pascal II (1088-99) ^"d Eugenius III (1145-53) authorized 
dueling. Julius II, (1509) and Pius IV (1596) forbade it. 
Eugenius IV (1431-39) approved of the council of Basle and 
the restitution of the Chalice to the Church of Bohemia. 
Pius IX revoked the concession. Hadrian II (807-872) de- 
clared civil marriages to be valid. Pius VII (800-23) con- 
demned them. Sixtus V (1585-90) published an edition of 
the Bible and by a rule recommended it to be read. Pius VII 
condemned the reading of it. Clement XIV (1700-21) dis- 
solved the order of the Jesuits, permitted by Paul III. Pius 
VII re-established it. Virgilius (538) purchased the papacy 
from Bellisarius, lieutenant of the Emperor Justinius. Eu- 
genius III (1145) was reproved by St. Bernard who said to 
him, can you show me in this great city of Rome anyone who 
vv'ould have you as Pope after having received gold or silver 
for it? 



98 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

What was said in opposition to Bishop Strossmayer's 
charges against the dogma of infalHbihty, we know not, but 
as the Pope sat before that window in scarlet dress and a per- 
fect blaze of precious stones for the morning sun to shine 
suddenly on the dogma when it was being read (an arrange- 
ment for that purpose having before been made) so that it 
could be said — see how Heaven most graciously smiles on us, 
the words of St. Bernard in a letter to Pope Eugenius would 
apply here also. 

On that occasion the Abbot said: "First of all. In all thy works remem- 
ber that thou are but a man, and let the fear of Him who taketh away the 
breath of princes be continually before thine eyes. Brush aside the deceit of 
the fugitive honor, despite the glitter of the painted pomp and think of thy- 
self simply as naked, even as thou earnest from thy mother's womb. Art thou 
ornamented with bandages shining with jewels, brilliant in silks, crowned 
with plumes, stuffed out with golden and silver embroideries? If thou shalt 
expel from contemplation all these things so swiftly passing and soon utterly 
to vanish like morning mists, then will appear to thee a man, naked, poor, 
needy, miserable, grieving because he is a man, blushing at his nakedness, 
deploring his birth; a man born to labor, not to honor; born of a woman, and 
so under condemnation; living only a little while and therefore full of fear, 
replete with miseries and weeping because of them. 

These remarks of St. Bernard apply to Pope Pius IX as 
the representation of all the Popes of the papal hierarchy 
from the time of Boniface III, who made Phocus confer the 
title of Universal Bishop upon him 1,260 years before that 
time. 

If Pope Gregory the First's application holds, then Pius 
IX was Anti-Christ. St. Paul speaks of the Anti-Christ in 
II Thess. 2: 2-3. If we take St. Paul's word in connection 
with Dr. John Cummins' description given below, of that 
scene where Anti-Christ is found "sitting there before that 
window in the temple of God," setting forth as St. Paul says, 
that he himself is God. It will show that this scene in St. 
Peter's was in St. Paul's mind when he wrote about Ant'i!- 



A SCENE IN ST. PETER S, ROME 99 

Christ to the Thessalonians. It is a proposition that will ad 
mit of a demonstration anyway. The following is what Dr. 
Cummins said: 

"The Pope had a grand throne erected in front of the eastern window in 
St. Peter's, and arrayed himself in a perfect blaze of precious stones, and sur- 
rounded himself with cardinals and patriarchs and bishops in gorgeous ap- 
parel for a magnificent spectacular scene. He had chosen the early morning 
hour and the eastern window, that the rising sun should flash its beams full 
upon his magnificence, and by it his diamonds, rubies and emeralds be so re- 
fracted and reflected that he should appear to be not a man but what the de- 
cree proclaimed him, one having all the glory of God. The Pope posted him- 
self at an early hour before the eastern window, but the sun refused to shine! 
The dismal dawn darkened rapidly to a deeper and deeper gloom. The dazzle 
of glory could not be produced. The aged eyes of the would-be God could not 
see to read by daylight, and he had to send for candles. Candle-light strained 
his nerves of vision too much, and he handed the reading over to a cardinal. 
The cardinal began to read amid an ever blackening gloom, but had not read 
many lines before such a glare of lurid fire and such a crash burst from the 
inky heavens as never was equalled at Rome before. Terror fell upon all. 
The reading ceased. One cardinal jumped trembling from his chair, and ex- 
claimed, "It is the voice of God, speaking the thunders of Sinai!" 



CHAPTER XVIII 

THE LIFE OF OUR REPUBLICS IN DANGER. 

Today we live, tomorrow we die, and that is the way of 
Governments, Ever since the Assyrians came down Hke a 
wolf on the fold, the Aryan Governments of the world have 
come up and gone down with a history now almost forgotten. 
We are speaking with reference to our own Indo-European 
f amihes. Nothing Turanian has ever had, nor will have any 
connection with Judaism until after the restoration. Only 
with the Aryan World has prophesy found a Semitic rela- 
tionship, and even then, nothing permanent has obtained with 
the Gentile world and nothing permanent with Israel will ob- 
tain, until Gentile dominion comes to an end, at the time ap- 
pointed in 1925. 

In this case the reader should bear in mind that the term 
"Israel" has a Gentile significance as w^ell as a Jewish one. 
After his regeneration Zacchaeus was called a son of Abra- 
ham, and as such, this Publican came into an inheritance of 
all the rights of the Jewish race, so will it be with all Gentiles 
who are of the seed of Abraham. 

Everything now materializing in the formation of the 
League of Nations foreshadows the coming Governments be- 
longing to Tolstoy's giants, which, he says will rule the w^orld 
between the years 191 5 and 1925. In short, the wrangling 
going on at this very time among the Anglo-Saxons, the 
Slavs, the Latins, and the Mongolians lends color to the be- 
lief that the Count was right in his forecast. That an' inter- 
nationalism will result in a unity of all of those families is to 
be looked for however, during the next five years. That all 

100 



LIFE OF OUR REPUBLICS IN DANGER IQI 

existing governments, republics included, will become 
changed to meet the conditions required for the new birth, is 
at least a proposition that will admit of a demonstration. 

From the time poisonous propaganda destroyed the pre- 
Noachian Government, malign influences have been at work 
in support of autocratic strongholds. Wicked forces de- 
stroyed the rule of the Cycles in the time of ithe Judges, since 
which time Democratic strongholds gave way to dynas- 
tic ones; and these forces have been permitted to continue 
with baneful results till now. Now a revolution is on. The 
New Era was apprehended by the Hague tribunals twenty 
years ago, and we will soon have a new Eden. Then war will 
be no more. Isa. II 12-4. 

All powers that be are ordained of God. Rom. 13:1. 
"The Lord hast appointed over the kingdoms of the world 
whom He would." Dan. 5:21. 

That some of those rulers were bad men, was man's 
fault, not God's. The perversion of liberty which brought 
destruction to freedom necessitated a rule of wickedness that 
a reign of righteousness might obtain. It was God's way for 
the evolution of the survival of the weakest. It came through 
Daniel's four Kings — four dynasties — which led first to the 
destruction of absolutism in the Church. Then followed the 
change of the Ages, which evolved republics for the destruc- 
tion of monarchies. Now a further enlightenment will make 
an end of all forms of autocracy in both State and Church. 
That thrones have been falling and crowns crumbling to 
dust ever since the prophet saw the Jews begin their ascend- 
ancy in 1874, is a well established fact. That monarchies 
have been made to give way to an enlightened civilization 
since the formation of the German Empire, in 1871, is also a 



102 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

verification of prophesy by history. And this gives us the 
right to ask were not repubUcs created for the destruction of 
Kingcraft? And was it not a work for them to accompUsh 
by the time appointed for the rule of Gentile Dominion to end, 
in 1925? We so believe. 

"The spirit of 76" was bed-rocked in Mt. Sinai. The 
emblem of that Divine Concept materialized in the flag of our 
country and "Old Glory" has always led to victory. As an 
emblem of liberty and freedom, its creation was for the op- 
pressed and down-trodden of all peoples, but in the name of 
humanity have we followed the fortunes of that flag where 
it was intended to go? There is a curse resting on nations in 
some cases whose swords have been withheld from the shed- 
ding of blood, and now the question may be asked, is there a 
curse resting on our republic for that reason ? Do we come 
under the prophet's condemnation, "Cursed be he that doeth 
the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keep- 
eth back his sword from blood," Jer. 48-10. 

From the time the command went forth to destroy the 
Canaanites, Jehovah has executed many of His judgTnents by 
the sword. The Mosaic prophesy, relative to the dispersion 
of the Jews among the Gentile nations of the earth was ef- 
fected by Rome during the Seven Years' War, when Titus 
razed Jerusalem to the ground in 70 A. D., and dispersed the 
Jews over all the world. The stiff-necked, stubborn Jew 
made that war a necessity. Eighteen hundred years later 
another prophesy of Moses was fulfilled by the Franco-Prus- 
sian War, in 1870. It was for the gathering of the children 
again. Then came the war of 191 5, as a sequence to end 
Gentile Dominion. 

In the time of Queen Esther a very cruel war brought 



LIFE OF OUR REPUBLICS IN DANGER IO3 

destruction to all the adversaries of the Jews. But had not 
Haman been hanged and Mordecai raised to the command of 
the armies for the destruction of the enemies of the children 
of promise throughout all of the one hundred and twenty- 
seven provinces of the King's realm, there would not have 
been a Jew left for the first hegira, in 1874, nor for the last 
Jubliee to come in 1925. We condemn war but God knows 
best. And he brings a curse upon those who withhold their 
swords from the shedding of blood when it should have been 
unsheathed in the name of humanity. Had Mordecai been 
the premier of the entente in 19 13, when Austria-Hungary 
demanded the assistance of Italy to crush Servia that the 
whole world subsequently might be brought under the Ger 
man heel of domination, the question of self-determination 
and rights of the smaller nations would undoubtedly have 
been settled then and there. That was the time for the 
League of Nations to have been made. One was formulated 
by Roosevelt at that time, substantially embodying all the ex- 
cellent points in the one now evolved at the Paris Peace Con- 
ference, and as it is reasonable to suppose that those high up 
in official power knew the purposes of the Imperial Govern- 
ment, an opportunity for serving humanity went so far by de- 
fault as to bring a curse on the nations, of the earth in conse- 
quence, a curse which has been sorely felt by all the world. 

When Mordecai learned of Haman's purpose to destroy 
the Jews he began preparing his people for that war. As the 
Balkan wars revealed the sinister purposes of Germany we 
should not have stopped work on the Navy. The four dread - 
naughts advocated by Roosevelt, in 1908, should certainly 
have been built as a safeguard, and had not our Navy been re- 
duced from a second power to that of a fourth under the 



I04 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Democratic administration, by stopping work altogether in 
19 lO, Germany would not have disregarded the fighting 
ability of the United States Government in the war then to 
come. And had our Government in the name of humanity 
declared war against that nation of bandits and robbers, 
when she invaded Belgium, hundreds of thousands of cas- 
ualties among our soldiers would not now be resting as a 
curse upon the United States for having gone two years too 
late into the war. 

Woodrow Wilson was made a very popular president 
by keeping the United States out of a war with Mexito, but 
that "slogan" brought a curse. Blood from the ground cries 
against us. Germany had filled our land with pacifists and 
their poisonous propaganda kept us out of a war until she had 
obtained her stranglehold. Then history was repeated again 
by coddling bolshevism instead of crushing it. Next came 
those fourteen political points more explosive than practi- 
cal. As fourteen self-evident propositions they have helped 
nobody but the Germans. After peace is made statesmen 
from the forty or more nations, will give a finality to all solu- 
tions like those now about Danzig and Fiume, Japan and 
Mexico, an international brotherhood will then dispel diffi- 
culties like mists vanishing before the morning sun. In a 
multitude of counsellors there is wisdom. If those fourteen 
points had been kept in cold storage until after Marshal Foch 
had brought Germany to her knees a peace would have been 
made long since, following which a League of Nations would 
have come as a natural consequence. The Monroe Doctrine 
needed no legislation to enforce its provisions, nor will a 
League of Nations, when made right. 

In a speech by Colonel Roosevelt, at Battle Creek, Michi- 



LIFE OF OUR REPUBLICS IN DANGER IO5 

gan, delivered on September 30, 1916, he spoke of Mr. Wil- 
son as follows : 

"On August 27th, 1913, President Wilson directed the American Consul- 
General in Mexico to notify all Mexican officials that 'they vrill be held 
strictly responsible for any injury done to any American, or for injury done 
to their property.' On February 10th, 1915, he sent his first note to Germany 
as regards the use of submarines in sinking merchant vessels, warning Ger- 
many that in case an American vessel or the life of an American citizen should 
be destroyed by a German submarine, the United States would hold the Im- 
perial Government of Germany to 'strict accountability.' At the same time 
Secretary of State Bryan, according to his published statement, informed the 
Austro-Hungarian Ambassador Dumba that the note was intended merely for 
'home consumption,' and was not to be taken seriously by Germany, and he 
reported his conversation to President Wilson, who approved of it. This 
makes an interesting gloss on Mr. Wilson's statement that 'Mankind is going 
to know that when America speaks she means what she says.' 

"On March 28th, 1915, the steamship Falaba was torpedoed, and of the 
one hundred and eighteen persons drowned, two were Americans. On May 
1st, 1915, the Gulflight, an American vessel, was tropedoed without warning 
by a German submarine, and the lives of three persons on board lost. On 
May 7th the Lusitania was torpedoed and thirteen hundred and ninety-six 
persons were drowned. But President Wilson did not make mankind know 
that when America speaks she means what she says. On the contrary, he 
selected this as the appropriate occasion for his remark about being 'too 
proud to fight.' He did not hold Germany to strict accountability. He did 
not hold her to any accountability, strict or loose. He wrote notes. We have 
the authority of Mr. Lane, Secretary of the Inferior, for saying that 'note- 
writing has not proved a success.' 

"President Wilson's first note to Germany was on May 13th. Germany 
answered it on May 25th by torpedoing the Nebraskan, an American vessel. 
On June 9th, President Wilson sent his second note and on July 21st a third. 
Germany answered these notes on August 19th by sinking the Arabic, drown- 
ing forty-one persons, including two Americans; and on September 6th, the 
Hesperian, twenty-six persons being drowned, including two Americans. On 
December 30th, the Persia was sunk, the number of lives lost being three hun- 
dred and thirty-eight, including two Americans, one of them a Consul-Gen- 
eral. Other vessels have since been sunk. No atonement has been made by 
Germany; and in more than one case the newspapers report that the captain 
of the submarine has been promoted or decorated as a reward." 

So much for the "strict accountability" to which Germany was to be held. 
The "strict responsibility" to which Mexico was to be held resulted in precisely 
a similar manner. While Germany was drowning between one and two hun- 
dred Americans, and a couple of thousand other non-combatants who were at 
sea, the Mexicans were killing a somewhat larger number of Americans, and 
a still larger number of other non-combatants on land. President Wilson did 
not hold Germany to "strict accountability" in one case, and he did not hold 
Mexico to "strict responsibility" in the other. He did nothing whatever. No- 
body has been punished for the lives lost. 

Mr. Wilson speaks loftily on behalf of "oppressed men and pitiful women" 
in the abstract; but when the forces of Carranza and Villa murdered American 
men and outraged American women, acting under the direct authority of their 



I06 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

leaders, Mr. Wilson made no effective protest of any kind; and in his speech 
of acceptance he has actually apologized for these men on the ground that 
they "represented at least the fierce passions of reconstruction which lies at 
the very heart of liberty." It is difficult to speak patiently of such an utter- 
ance, when we remember the infamy which it covers, and the abject submis- 
sion to infamy for which it seeks to apologize. 

President Wilson says that he is "interested in the fortunes of pitiful 
women and children." On the Lusitania there were drowned 103 babies under 
two years of age, fifty of them being babies under one year of age. How did 
Mr. Wilson's "interest" in these pitiful women and children show itself? It 
showed itself by the statement just two days later about being "Too proud to 
fight." It showed itself in his statement a little over two weeks later to the 
effect that it was inexpedient then to arouse the spirit of patriotism. Shortly 
afterwards, under date of May 27th, the New York Times contained the state- 
ment that President Wilson declined an invitation to speak at Independence 
Hall on July 5th and in response to a suggestion that he should only speak on 
patriotism, remarked: "This is perhaps the very time when I would not care 
to arouse the sentiment of patriotism." I call your attention to the fact that 
I take this statement from one of the most prominent Wilson papers. Presi- 
dent Wilson refused to speak in Independence Hall on the one hundred and 
twenty-eighth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence 
in that hall, and he so refused because inasmuch as over one hundred of our 
men, women and children had just been murdered on the high seas he re- 
garded it as "the very moment when he would not care to arouse the senti- 
ment of patriotism." Mr. Wilson has a positive genius for striking when the 
iron is cold and fearing to strike when the iron is hot. If one hundred and 
twenty-eight years ago Washington and Jefferson, and the other men who 
signed the Declaration of Independence had felt the same way about patriot- 
ism, and the same way about fighting as Mr. Wilson does, we would never have 
had a country. Had Lincoln felt the same way, there would be no such thing 
as the American Republic now in existence. 

The late Robert Bacon, president of the National Secu- 
rity League, in public addresses criticised President Wilson 
and the policies of the Democratic administration, thus start- 
ing a controversy which lasted some time, and in which he 
was attacked by the president in several speeches. 

As to one of those speeches, the New York Times says : 
"Replying to one of President Wilson's attacks, Mr. Ba- 
con, on October 9, 19 16, in a public statement, said : 'There' 
has never been any danger of war except the danger that 
came through Mr. Wilson's policy of vacillation, delay, and 
the writing of notes containing threats of 'strict account- 
ability.' As a matter of fact, the people know now that Mr. 



LIFE OF OUR REPUBLICS IN DANGER IQJ 

Bryan, when he spoke for Mr. Wilson, told the truth when he 
said in effect that these notes were not meant to be taken 
seriously.' 

"During the war I have been very careful not to say or 
do anything that was not in accordance with the strictest of- 
ficial neutrality. Of course the kind of neutrality of spirit 
which Mr. Wilson enjoined on us at the beginning of the war 
was not possible and I have said that it was not possible. I 
have held that it was the duty of the President to protest 
against the wanton invasion of Belgium and this would have 
been in accordance with the strictest official neutrality. Such 
a protest would never have led to war." 

From a special article by Henry Morgenthau, former 
ambassador to Turkey, published in the Nezv York World, 
October 14, 19 18, we obtain the inside history of that famous 
meeting at Potsdam, on July 5, 1914, when the Kaiser and 
other high officials in Germany made arrangements and 
planned the great war. As that meeting followed revela- 
tions of our peace policies in this country, it was held, no 
doubt, with the belief that the United States would not fight 
if they could, and that anyway no interference would take 
place as long as there was an election to be held. In that ar- 
ticle our ambassador says: 

"I have it on authority which it is difficult if not impossible to doubt 
that the meeting referred to was a meeting which was held at Potsdam on the 
date named. There were present the Kaiser, Herr Von Bethman-HoUweg, 
Admiral Von Tirpitz, General Von Falkenhayn, Herr Von Stumm, the Arch- 
duke Frederick, Count Berchtold, Count Tisza and General Conrad Von Hoet- 
zendorff. It appears that Herr Von Jagow and Count Moltke were not 
present. 

"The meeting discussed and decided upon all the principal points in the 
Austrian ultimatum which was to be despatched to Serbia eighteen days later. 
It was recognized that Russia would probably refuse to submit to such a di- 
rect humiliation and that war would result. * * * It is probable, but not 
certain that the date of mobilization was fixed at that time. 



i08 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

"The Kaiser, as is well known, then left for Norway, with the object of 
throwing dust in the eyes of the French and Russian Governments. 

"Three weeks later when it became known that England would not remalnr 
neutral, Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg wished to withdraw, but it was too late. 
The decision of July 5th was irrevocable." 

On April 6, 19 17, war was declared! against Germany. 
Then the United States had comparatively but a very small 
army, but an army of 180,000 officers and 3,200,000 soldiers 
was raised and equipped before the war closed in 19 18. It 
shows what could have been done had the soldiers of America 
been permitted to enter the ranks after the sinking of the 
Lusitania. The battle that virtually won the war was fought 
on the morning of March 21, 19 18, before our troops got to 
France. Because of our delay England lost about 750,000 
men; France 1,500,000, and Italy 700,000. 

Under the malign influences of Lenine and Trotzsky, 
Germany began work freeing non-Russian people from the 
Muscovite, establishing various independent States under 
military supremacy and an independent Poland under Ger- 
man domination, as soon as she knew the entente would work 
a dissolution of the German Empire under the old regime. 
A future plan of government was so successfully planned in 
fact for a Bolshevistic rule before the armistice was signed, 
that the Berlingcr Tageblatt was encouraged to say recently 
that "the entente must see that the German people cannot 
subscribe to a peace which, in its brutal denial of the rights of 
self-determination and of popular liberty will deal m Ger- 
man lands and German people after the old manner as if they 
were so much goods and many cattle." History was repeat- 
ing itself again, naturally enough the invitation to Lenine and 
Trotzsky to send delegates to the peace conference followed 
with a threat in return that if we would not release Debs from 



LIFE OF OUR REPUBLICS IN DANGER IO9 

prison they would execute Townsend, our consul, whom they 
held in confinement. That was the way Bolshevism was cod- 
dled, when oppressed women and children in Petrograd were 
freezing to death, without fuel to keep them warm and eating 
rats at $2.00 a head to keep from starving to death. 

A degeneracy in our political history took its origin in the 
Jacksonian theory that to the victor belong the spoils. For 
office sake the politician has listened to the voice of the peo- 
ple, like Saul did, who lost his kingdom because of it. 

And history has just repeated itself again. When the 
war broke out our land was full of pacifists and the presiden- 
tial slogan came into general use. Fearing the one and re- 
garding the other, we all in obedience to headquarters, puft on 
gum shoes and talked in whispers. Nobody wanted war and 
everybody said so. We attended to our own business duti- 
fully, getting elected to office, while the Huns attended to 
theirs, killing innocent people in order to obtain a world do- 
minion. In this connection the words of the late United 
States Senator, Joseph W. Bailey, Democrat, are not inappro- 
priate. He says: 

"For more than a century the Democratic party has opposed the creation 
of useless offices, but in the last six years Democratic Congresses have cre- 
ated more offices — and more useless offices — than were ever created in the 
same length of time since this republic was organized. 

"Our fathers dreaded the extension of Federal power to a point where 
100,000 employees would be required; but we have added bureau to bureau, 
and function to function, until more than 500,000 are now permanently em- 
ployed, and we are complacently purposing to add the 3,000,000 more who are 
employed by the railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. 

"For more than a century the Democratic party has enjoined upon us to 
reverence the Constitution of our country, and to respect its wholesome limi- 
tations, but in this time men calling themselves Democrats, and holding high 
positions, deride the Constitution as an obsolete scrap of paper and scoff at 
its most sacred guaranties. 

"I know and you know that this republic cannot be preserved if the Con- 
stitution which created it is destroyed; and we can give no better proof of 
our patriotism than by defending the Constitution which established, and 
which alone can save, our free institutions." 



no BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

The above is an instance, somewhat rare in political 
history, where a member arraigns his own party because of 
its failure to perform the duties incumbent upon its represen- 
tatives. As a general thing pohticians tell the truth about 
the other party, assuming the hundreds of thousands of petty 
offices, from that of the presidency down, properly belong to 
them. In fact, it's the offices, what the fuss is all about, al- 
though that not being the issue apparently. Great speeches 
have already been made by aspirants to high positions 
wherein Republicans and Democrats alike have been found 
unworthy of administering the functions of government, and 
so the 1920 campaign is already begun. And these are the 
disintegrating factors which may lead to the destruction of 
republics eventually — Jer. 30 : 1 1 . 



CHAPTER XIX 



THE PEACE MUDDLE. 



When the time came for Germany to sign the peace 
treaty she returned the answer that to do so would spell eco- 
nomic ruin and further reminded the Peace Conference that 
the terms presented to Germany are inacceptable on their 
face in that they are a violation of President Wilson's peace 
program, which Germany will assert, primarily accords her 
equality as one of the negotiation powers. And then Count 
von Brockorff Rantzau, as leader of the German delegates, 
upon his prerogative as a right granted by those Fourteen 
Points, further answered the Associated Powers, saying: 
"That the notes already submitted by his government would 
afford a basis for negotiations and serve as suggesting a way 
over obstacles in the way of negotiations." 

Here was a dilemma based on a fact as admitted by the 
partisans of the Administration at Washington, and one 
which the Republicans claimed was brought about by Presi- 
dent Wilson in an arbitrary way. Attacks have been made 
on the legislative powers assumed by the president he having 
been accused for "seizure" of the legislative functions as well 
as for being abroad at this time. The recent speech by Sena- 
tor Cummins is of historical importance in this connection — 
the Senator said: 

"We have been witnessing the most remarkable and per- 
ilous movement ever observed in our national life. Its au- 
thor and its chief figure insists that he is a progressive, but, 
in this respect at least, I venture to deny his title. 

Ill 



112 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

"For six years there has been a continuous, determined 
effort in the Executive Department to acquire all the powers 
of government save only judicial authority, and even that has 
not entirely escaped unwarrantable interference. It seems to 
have been assumed that Congress, the legislative branch of 
our institutions, exists only for the purpose of formally regis- 
tering the desires and giving technical validity to the decrees 
of the Executive. 

"Long before the war broke upon us the majority in Con- 
gress had yielded its prerogatives and, under persuasion, co- 
ercion, or other forms of influence, had abjectly surrendered 
its independence and substantially abdicated the powers and 
responsibilities which the Constitution creates and imposes. 

"During the whole of the present Administration the 
real representatives of the people, chosen to make laws and 
establish policies, have done little more than to record the will 
of an absolute master. 

"There is no safety for America unless we rigidly pre- 
serve the integrity and independence of the legislative depart- 
ment of the Government, and free it absolutely from all the 
influences of the Executive, save his constitutional right of 
communicating at proper times and in a proper way his views 
upon matters of public concern. 

"No man appreciates more fully than I do the value of 
leadership, but there is the same difference between a leader 
and a master that we find between the strength of reason and 
the power of the sword. 

"Unless we bring the country back to the wisdom of the 
forefathers in this respect we may soon become accustomed to 
a president who can control the country by cable and exercise 
his supreme authority from a chateau in France or a palace in 
Switzerland. 



THE NEW BIRTH II3 

''I would not deprive a president of a single authority- 
executive in its character, but I can no more consent to a con- 
stant and pernicious interference with legislative functions 
than I can to the usurpation of any other autocratic and arbi- 
trary power. 

"No matter who becomes President of the United States, 
the first duty of the Republican Party is to return to the Con- 
stitution and keep him within his lawful activity." In this 
connection the Washington Post, a Democratic paper, bear- 
ing date of June 3, says : 

'The League of Nations is responsible also for the pre- 
posterous action of the Paris conference in suppressing the 
text of the treaty. The open diplomacy that was to supplant 
secret bargains has been badly worsted in its first bout. No 
international proceedings have ever been shrouded with such 
secrecy, propped by such misleading propaganda, or immersed 
in so many secret bargains as the Paris peace conference. In 
many instances the League of Nations is directly responsible 
for this violation of the rights of the people to know what 
their agents are doing. 

*'What price has been paid for the League of Nati/ons 
covenant ? No one is permitted to know. The dealers in na- 
tional rights do not tell what promises or guarantees they 
have made. The public knows that the allied nations have 
made the best bargain they could for the sake of fastening an 
effective peace upon Germany, and that they have failed thus 
far to accomplish the object for which the war was fought. 
Germany is still arrogant, still talking of a peace on equal 
terms, and with undeniable logic is demanding immediate 
membership in the League of Nations." 

The Democratic party finds its answer in an article 



114 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

which appeared in the New York World, March 27, 19 19. 
As a strong administration paper, the article will have its 
weight, especially as to historical facts. In part the writer 
says : "When the German Government in October sued for 
peace, it 'accepted the terms laid down by President Wilson 
in his address of January 8, 19 18, and in his subsequent ad- 
dresses,' as the basis of 'a permanent peace of justice.' These 
conditions were formally accepted, with certain qualifications, 
by the Prime Minister of Great Britain, the Premier of 
France and the Premier of Italy when the armistice was 
framed. 

"The memorandum of observations by the Allied Gov- 
ernments which was transmitted to President Wilson and by 
him transmitted to the German Government together with 
the armistice was as follows : 

"The Allied Governments have given careful considera- 
tion to the correspondence which has passed between the 
President of the United States and the German Government. 
Subject to the qualifications which follow, they declare their 
willingness to make peace with the Government of Germany 
on the terms of peace laid down in the President's address to 
Congress of January, 1918, and the principles of settlement 
enunciated in his subsequent addresses. 

"They must point out, however, that Clause 2, relating 
to what is usually described as the freedom of the seas, is open 
to various interpretations, some of which they could not ac- 
cept. They must therefore reserve to themselves complete 
freedom on this subject when they enter the Peace Confer- 
ence. 

"Furthermore, in the conditions of peace laid down in his 
address to Congress of January 8, 1918, the President die- 



THE NEW BIRTH II5 

clared that invaded territories must be restored as well as 
evacuated and freed. The Allied Governments feel that no 
doubt ought to be allowed to exist as to whast this provisibn 
implies. By it they understand that compensation will be 
made by Germany for all damage done to the civilian popula- 
tion of the Allies and their property by the aggression of Ger- 
many by land, by sea and from the air. 

"Secretary Lansing informed the Swiss Minister who 
transmitted the n,ote to Germany, that 'I am instructed by the 
President to say that he is in agreement with the interpreta- 
tion set forth in the last paragraph of the memorandum above 
quoted.' Thus thirteen of the President's fourteen points 
were made the basis of peace by the German Government, the 
Allied Governments and the United States Government, and 
the chief work of the Paris Conference was to translate these 
provisions into a treaty of peace. 

'Tt has not done so. On the contrary, a persistent cam- 
paign has been carried on, ever since the conference met, to 
nullify the memorandum of November 4, and tear up the sol- 
emn pledges made by the Allied Governments. Every con- 
troversy that has vexed the conference has been an outgrowth 
of this campaign ,of repudiation. 

"For example, the ninth of the fourteen points provided 
that there should be a readjustment of the frontiers of Italy 
'along clearly recognizable lines of nationality;' yet, not satis- 
fied with this, Italian imperialism is seeking to establish itself 
in force on the eastern shore of the Adriatic. No. 8 provided 
that 'all French territory should be freed' and the wrong done 
to France in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine must be righted, 
but the militaristic elements in France, taking a leaf from the 
Prussian notebook, are trying to force the iFrench Govern- 



Il6 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

merit to demand everything up to the left bank of the Rhine, 
in the name of national defense. 

"No. 13 provided for an independent Polish State, 'which 
should be assured a free and secure access to the sea ;' yet the 
Polish extremists insist that Danzig, which is wholly German 
in population and culture, must be ceded outright to Poland. 
The people of Austria-Hungary were to be 'accorded the 
freest opportunity of autonomous development ;' yet Hungary 
has gone over to Bolshevism as a protest against the plans to 
dismember it, and a strong element at the conference is seek- 
ing to deny to German- Austria the right tcx align itself with 
the other German States under Republican government. 

"The third point, which provided for 'the removal of all 
economic barriers and the establishment of the equality of 
trade conditions,' is uncompromisingly resisted by British and 
French commercial interests which are opposed to the re-es- 
tablishment of German industry, although that is the only 
means by which reparation can be obtained by French, Brit- 
ish and Belgian victims of the war for the total destruction of 
their property. 

"Even the first provision, for 'open covenants of diplo- 
macy openly arrived at,' has been set aside so far as the dip- 
lomats of the Peace Conference have dared to defy the gen- 
eral public opinion of the world ; and so the story runs. 

"The best thing that the Paris Conference can do is to 
return to first principles, redeem the pledges that were made 
in November and frame a treaty in accordance with the 
President's fourteen points which all the Governments have 
accepted. If it will do that, few subjects for controversy will 
remain and all the obstacles to a speedy peace will be re- 
moved." 



CHAPTER XX 



THE NEW BIRTH. 



Politicians have always been good wranglers but nothing- 
can prevent the birth of a new freedom at the time appointed 
for it to take place. As foreshadowed by the birth of Israel, 
nearly four thousand years ago, it must materialize as a se- 
quence on or before the Restoration. It was so Divinely 
planned. "Judges will come as at the first, and counsellors 
as at the beginning," Isa. i :26. That is a sure word of 
prophesy. The time appointed was to follow the destruction 
of dynasties — Jer. 30-11. The old Democratic common- 
wealth is next. Monarchy is making its last gasp ; and we al- 
ready hear the voice from the whole world in response to the 
cry from the prophet saying: "Come ye, Let us go up to the 
mountains of the Lord to the house of Jacob and he will teach 
us his ways and we will walk in his paths, for out of Zion 
shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from 
Jerusalem." 

The Jews told Moses they would obey God, but their self- 
determination weazened out after a test of 969 years. Then 
the Gentiles failed after an attempt they made lasting 2,500 
years. Now the Lord Himself is at the helm. The work' 
will be well done this time. It is the greatest missionary 
movement the world has ever seen. First under the direction 
of the Divine Plan, prophecies came for the destruction of 
dynasties and to guard the children of Jacob on their way to 
the Holy Land, after which the birth of a new freedom is to 
follow. 

117 



Il8 BIKTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

After the War of 1870 everything changed. For eigh- 
teen hundred years the race had been scattered, and as Hosea 
said, without an ephod or a prince or a sacrifice. Their hfe 
was symboHzed by the cursing of the fig tree, but since 
Nordau, Zangwill and others began their hegiras, blessings 
from Heaven followed. Before the Berlin treaty in 1878 
neither much dew nor rain had watered the fields of the Holy 
Land. Then climatic conditions began to change. For gen- 
erations the olive trees and vines were gray with the dust of 
the dry summer months, but now soft breezes from Heavenly 
sources with beautiful showers of rain gave the land a pro- 
ductive soil and a delectable climate. The disfavor of the 
old regime having fulfilled its mission, favorable agricultural 
conditions returned. Vegetation then came forth and Pal- 
estine began to blossom as the rose again. In 1878 the plans 
of Lawrence Oliphant and the Earl of Shaftsbury took de- 
liberate shape in the purchase of seven hundred acres of land 
for the foundation of the Colony of Petah, Tikwah. Now 
there are many colonies there. 

It was during this year that the hand of Providence 
again made manifest an interest in the Zionist movement. 
Disraeli, the Premier of England, and the Dictator of the 
Berlin Congress, as the Mordecai of his race, secured the 
Protectorate over Asiatic Turkey for his government with 
the possession of the island of Cyprus, the gateway itself to 
Palestine. This diplomatic success, with the subjugation of 
the old Babylonian Empire, helped to make it possible for 
the safe return of the Jews to their Abrahamic possessions 
by the time appointed for the ending of the Cycles in 1925. 

Since the year 1878 the Jews have been returning: in 
large numbers to Palestine. About 150,000 have come back. 



THE NEW BIRTH II9 

After the Russian persecution in 1881, emigration set in 
from that country, and now 3,000,000 of those people having 
just been freed, will return undoubtedly to the fatherland. 

"Forty years before the Berlin Congress," says one 
writer, "there were only thirty-two families in Jerusalem, 
but by the year 1889 there were eight agricultural societies, 
and many have been organized since that time. The first 
Zionist Congress was held in Switzerland. In 1903 the Sixth 
Congress was held at Basel, when Baron D. Hersh made a 
gift of $10,000,000.00. Since that time Jews of wealth have 
donated large sums of money. 

It was in 1877 the co-religionists of England and Amer- 
ica, under the secretaryship of the late lamented Earl Kitch- 
ener, began the work of building up a new Palestine. Rail- 
roads and trolley lines, palatial hotels and pleasure resorts, 
have been built all over the land. Places of historical interest, 
sacred to the memory of those who love biblical scenes, have 
been beautified, and connected with other places of interest 
the tourist would want to go, and the end is not yet. 

Ostensibly all this work has been done to attract visitors 
from abroad. Even so, that is well. But we dare say that 
under the guidance of the unseen hand, it was a provision 
to await the return of the prodigal race, which is to have a 
divine reception. On that occasion when the clarion notes 
are sounded for the last Jubilee celebration in 1925, all will 
be ready for the birth of a new international freedom. Au- 
tocracy will have been destroyed, and a new government 
set up. 

Then will come a consummation which will be heartfelt. 
It will be a homecoming after an absence of thousands of 
years and for a new birth of freedom such as was enjoyed in 
the davs of the luds^es. 



CHAPTER XXI 



THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. 



Nationally speaking potentates of the earth have done 
great things, but with limitations. The unseen hand unper- 
ceived has often intervened. It was that way with the ex- 
ploits of kings during that long reign of Seven Times of Gen- 
tile Dominion. Times and the dividing of times opened up 
and closed out Daniel's four Kings — dynasties. Also bounds 
were set for Jeremiah's Double, while the regulation of the 
different periods of the Cycles were made as stable as the 
coming and going of the planets ; so came the League of Na- 
tions at the time appointed, nor can man prevent it. 

The creative fiat produced the seed of the century plant 
but it took a hundred years to make one bloom. So it has 
been with the League of Nations. God has never been in a 
hurry when at his work. He works by human agencies and 
people too often get things wrong. It was so with Abbe-de 
St. Pierre's peace plan, written during the Congress of 
Utrecht in 1713. The Project of a Perpetual Peace — its 
title — was a humane conception, not in accordance with the 
Divine plan. It ignored two vital tendencies of human na- 
ture. Ultimately all forms of autocracy are to be destroyed. 
The Abbe's plan permitted the arbitration of rulers to con- 
trol national aspirations for freedom. It gave the right of 
self determination to those in authority only, and so God de- 
stroyed it. The Holy Alliance formed by the great Majesties 
of Austria, Russia and Prussia, was like unto the Abbe's plan. 
It was a man's project laboring under the false notion, that 

120 



THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 121 

an imperial syndicate could best work out the moral and 
spiritual destinies of the human race, but a kind Providence 
destroyed that plan also. Had not prophesy intervened for 
republics, we would all be under a monarchial form of gov- 
ernment and despotism, not liberty, would still hold sway. 
Article X, of the present peace plan, had it been in force, 
would have kept the American colonies under Spanish domin- 
ion to this day. It would have destroyed the birth of Ameri- 
can Independence in its incipiency nor would it have permit- 
ted the United States the right to succor Cuba in the time of 
the Spanish War. The true league will not champion the 
rights of territorial integrity when in the wrong. 

Speaking from a national viewpoint again, the hand un- 
perceived obtained again during the year 1899. Then one 
hundred delegates from different governments of the world 
met at The Hague, for the formation of a Court of Arbitra- 
tion. It was the first step towards the formation of the pres- 
ent league. In both cases the purpose was in harmony with 
the Divine plan, and eventually the right kind of a league will 
be agreed upon. On the i8th of October, 1914, Colonel 
Roosevelt wrote a League of Nations substantially embodying 
all the good points of an international league in one sta^te- 
ment. The colonel would back up the purpose of the people 
of the whole world by all the power of the whole world. One 
of the sixty-five clauses which the German League of Na- 
tions contains, is an international parliament pronounced im- 
practicable by the League of Nations Commission, but the 
Germans are right. Such a league is needed now. Al- 
though some years may elapse but a full fledged Leaglie of 
Nations will obtain eventually. It is a cry from the people 
re-echoing the voice of prophesy for a new freedom, which 



122 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

has come down to us through the ages. As a cry of the 
world from the depths of its soul it has been heard by high 
Heaven in the name of the rights of humanity, long deferred, 
and that gives a sufficient security in itself of its near 
approach. 

Fifty years ago that new hope began to dawn. Under 
benign influences brought about by the criss-crossing of sev- 
eral prophecies, good work commenced. Finally came the 
signing of the German armistice and that was the beginning 
of the end of the Old Era. Now all the world is uncon- 
sciously preparing for the New Regime. Even Germany has 
been stripped of her hide preparatory to another political ex- 
istence. It became necessary that she should be made to 
wriggle, first like an angleworm while being impaled longi- 
tudinally on a fishing hook, so she could understand. Now 
she sends her plan for a league, too. From the Associated 
Press, we read : 

'' Paris, May 12. — The German delegation has handed to 
the Council of Four the German plan for a League of Na- 
tions. This plan was drawn up by Professor Schuecking, 
and the principal feature is an international parliament com- 
posed of ten representatives from each Nation." 

In this connection comes another Hun league plan, re- 
ported on May 12, also. It is a more extended plan and one 
which would have given protection to Belgium and Poland, 
to Roumania and Servia at the time they were so unmerci- 
fully raped, but unfortunately Germany was not thinking 
about them in that way at that time. The plan is copied 
from The Washington Post : 

"The German plan for a League of Nations submitted by 
the German delegation at Versailles and now in the hands of 



THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 12$ 

the peace conference committee on the League of Nations to 
which it was referred, contains sixty articles, together with a 
supplement setting forth the charter for an international la- 
bor league. The special aims of the League of Nations de- 
vised by the Germans are set forth as follows : 

"(a) Prevention of international disputes, (b) disar- 
mament; (c) securing freedom of traffic and general eco- 
nomic equality of rights, (d) protection of national minori- 
ties, (e) creation of an international workers' charter, (f ) 
regulation of colonial questions, (g) unity of existing and 
future international institutions, (h) the creation of a parlia- 
ment." 

"Another provision of the draft reads: 

** 'The League of Nations shall comprise (a) all bellig- 
erent States taking part in the present war; (b) all neutral 
States included in The Hague arbitration league; (c) all 
others to be admitted by vote of two-thirds of the existing 
members. Entrance is reserved to the Holy See.' " 

Had that plan been drawn up on July 5, 19 14, by that fa- 
mous War Council which met at Potsdam to talk over the 
best route through Belgium to destroy France, William II 
would never have become Wiliam the Last. 

The present movement for a League of Nations took its 
initiative in an act of the United States Senate on August 29, 
1916. It reads as follows: "It is herein declared to be the 
policy of the United States to settle its international disputes 
by mediation or arbitration. It expresses disapprobation to 
a general increase of armaments by the different nations of 
the world. The President was authorized and requested to 
invite at a time not later than the close of the war in Europe 
all the great governments of the world to a conference which 



124 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

shall be charged with the duty of formulating a plan for a 
court of arbitration or other tribunal to which disputed ques- 
tions between nations shall be referred for adjudication and 
peaceful settlment and to consider the question oi disarma- 
ment and submit their recommendations to their respective 
governments for approval. These provisions were unani- 
mously adopted in the Senate," and should have been 
followed. 

As a result of that enactment President Wilson went to 
Paris, and came back with the treaty of peace so inextricably 
interwoven with the Covenants as to meet objections by the 
Senate . A satisfactory League of Nations to all parties con- 
cerned could have been evolved probably, had the President 
taken into his confidence the United States Senate. As a 
coordinate body with that of the Executive it had the right 
of a treaty making power, anyway. 

Rev. Dr. Eaton, of New York, criticised President Wil- 
son for what he termed the latter's failure to take to the Peace 
Conference a delegation from the Senate. He declared that 
he believed the chief objection to the covenant was the 
result of the way "President Wilson had balled things up." 
He said the people wanted a League and were ready to help 
the President get it, but not the one be brought back the other 
day. 

"It makes me tired," he said, ''when I hear people call the 
thirty-nine senators who signed the round robin vile names 
because they dared do what they did. Are they there to be 
used as a rubber stamp or kicked around like a lot of school 
boys? They were elected to discharge their sworn obliga- 
tions. I think President Wilson has made it difficult for the 
American people to accept the covenant." 



THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 1 25 

The Senate had been kept too much in the dark. Re- 
pubHcan Leader Lodge says, when speaking of the work af- 
ter the League was finished: "Every shopkeeper in Germany 
was reading the treaty as made pubHc at BerHn, yet the Sen- 
ate was provided only with a 'worthless' official abstract." 

The responsibility devolving upon the President has been 
very great. He had taken upon himself too much for one 
man, yet he wanted to do all the thinking himself. It is not 
difficult therefore, to find how soon he got the principle of 
self-determination in conflict with itself. That those four 
giant nations, of which Count Tolstoy speaks — the Anglo- 
Saxons, Slavs, Latins, and Mongolians — are in a conflict on 
a principle, all right in theory only, was a natural result. 
Not since the world began have the nations of the earth been 
guided by the principle of self-determination other than from 
their own selfish interests, Germany not being the only recal- 
citrant either. The vindication at Italy's expense of Presi- 
dent Wilson's self-assumed attitude as the arbitrator of Eu- 
ropean boundaries, against 6,000 municipalities that assured 
Premier Orlando of their support, is a good example of self- 
determination in conflict with itself. As based on fact, self- 
determination was not a practical viewpoint to work from. 
It worked contrary wise as to the Danzig seaport and the Ad- 
riatic question in particular. As to the right of the Poles to 
an outlet at Danzig, Germany was about the only party that 
didn't come out at the same hole it went in at. Commenting 
on these conflicting mistakes. The New York Sim says: 

'Tf for example, to protest against President Wilson's 
unwarranted attempt to decide, on his own judgment and to 
Italy's disadvantage, questions with which he has absolutely 
no official concern should take the form of a resolution of 
the Italian Parliament addressed to the American Senate and 



126 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

House of Representatives, how could our Congress avoid an 
examination into all the circumstances of hisi self-assumed 
spokesmanship for America." 

As Senator Sherman has presented a resolution asking 
that the peace treaty and the league be discussed separately, 
that question raised by the Sun, may come up. Following 
that of course other questions as important may also arise 
and thus the debate may continue for years. 

An article by Rev. Charles L. Vaughan published in the 
Roanoke Times on May 22, very ably presents some of the 
good points of the League. In part he says : "The impor- 
tance of the League of Nations is disclosed by at least the fol- 
lowing considerations : first, the many disputes and misun- 
derstandings among the nations associated together in their 
fight against organized brutality, which were calculated to 
provoke endless discussions, delays, and maybe new wars, 
have been very wisely referred to the League of Nations to 
work out on a just and amicable basis ; second, arrangements 
for plebiscites to determine the desires and wishes of many 
racial units as to their national allegiance is left to the Leac^"ue 
of Nations; third, the arrangements for free cities that will 
afford equal privileges to all nations, is left to the League of 
Nations for their proper protection and governmental super- 
vision ; fourth, the holding open of many rivers and water- 
ways so that all nations may use them freely and enjoy the 
commercial benefits from the enlarged world freedom. In 
fact, without the League of Nations, there can be no peace on 
the broad lines marked out and laid down in this peace 
treaty." 

To the above might be added the work of the Council of 
Four who have agreed on most of the mandates for the for- 
mer Turkish Empire and it is understood that the United 



THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 127 

States has been offered Armenia and Constantinople with 
Great Britain getting Mesopotamia and Palestine, France be- 
ing the mandatory for Syria and Cilicia, Italy for Adalia and 
Greece for Smyrna. The Sultan of Turkey would be given 
territory in Central Asia Minor with a capital probably at 
Brusa. 

Greek and Italian claims to the Dodocanese Islands off 
Asia Minor have been adjusted by Italy agreeing to retire in 
favor of Greece. The islands, which are populated by Greeks, 
were occupied by Italy during the war with Turkey over 
Tripoli, 

The different nations talked about as mandatories ap- 
prehend the coming of that time when war will be no more 
and when peace will reign over the earth as the waters cover 
the sea. Then will come to pass that swords and spears shall 
be beaten into plowshares and pruning hooks. That there 
may be no more Turkish massacres or Holy Wars, Constan- 
tinople shall pass into hands which will strive only for peace. 
Finally a people for righteousness will come out of that cita- 
del and then the Turk will have another chance. 

And there is that Caucasus group with a half a hundred 
little tribes interassociated with the Armenians, who have 
been pillaged and wronged and massacred for ages. The 
atrocities which they have suffered has called America to 
their aid, and should succor be refused the Lord will call us 
to an account. We have cared for Cuba and it will cost us no 
more to care for Armenia ; and what if it does ? In the prov- 
idence of God the American Republic was created for that 
purpose. Anyone successfully opposing that work by us 
would bring a curse on the United States. 

All the hopes of Zionism will have to be worked out in 
the Holy Land. That was the land given to the Jews as a 



128 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

possession for an Abrahamic inheritance, and England, as the 
selected mandatory, should be proud of that appointment. 
Here in this land scenes are to be witnessed, it may be in the 
very near future, never dreamed of before. To that end 
3,000,000 Jews but recently came out of Russia in one night. 
That was the greatest thing that happened to Israel since her 
exodus from Egypt. As an oppressed race for over 3,000 
years she is now to come into a full freedom for England to 
care for. What a privilege! And Palestine, the promised 
land, is to become their home land. A home land from whence 
Jewish culture with its beautiful ideals is to spread over the 
world. And here they are to remain from the time of their 
restoration until their restitution, Acts III, 19-21. How long- 
that will be we know not. What a pity the Jews cannot see 
the hand of providence in all this work. They seem hardly 
to know even, that the signs of the times indicate that the 
New Edenic Age is near at hand ; that the time is near when 
the life of a man will be that of a tree ; that there shall be no 
more an infant of days, but that the sinner a hundred years 
old shall be accursed. That may be the beginning of Millen- 
nial Era for aught we know. That we are in the last times 
is certain from the way the prophecies of Isaiah — II chapter 
— and the IV chapter of Micah are being fulfilled. Nations 
are being judged as the terrible Turk, the wicked Hun and the 
brutal Bulgar will testify, while the world is saying zvar shall 
be no more. No prophecies were ever more fully verified 
than those about the nations that were afar off, those that 
were cast out, but are to be assembled again, especially the 
gathering of the children at Mount Zion. Micah IV, 6-7 — 
"That the work of the peace conference is the beginning 
of the end of modern prophesy, for the "Birth of the Next 
Nation is an established fact." 



PART II. 

THE NEW BIRTH FROM MOSAIC PROPHICIES. 

(An Explanation.) 

The League of Nations from a prophetical point of view, 
not only apprehends a restoration of the principles underly- 
ing the old Democratic Commonwealth of Israel, but other 
religious and economic principles as well. In unveiling 
Satanic influences which evolved this war costing the world 
$331,612,542,563, with a total loss of 12,990,571 lives — so 
estimated ; also, a shortage of picked man power, of the wage 
earning class of 14,000,000 men must be taken into account 
also. 

Part II deals with the religious phase of this restoration. 
When Satan, in 1870, perceived dynasties crumbling as 
Israel's march Zionward started off devilish plans were laid 
for destroying law and order, by polluting the Mosaic record 
so as to undermine the authenticity of the old testament 
scriptures. The following chapters will explain. 

Jesus challenged unbelief by saying "If ye had believed 
Moses, ye would have believed me, for Moses wrote of Me," 
John 5 146. Other similar statements led Satan to inaugurate 
the present age of doubt and imbelief, and that work of his 
is shown in part II also. 

Rule by cycle lost out after the Jews no longer observed 
their Sabbath days of rests, their pentecostal feasts, and 
their jubilee celebrations every fiftieth year. (See history 
of this rule by Cycles, in the 25th and 26th Chapters of 
Leviticus.) As a result of that disobedience, this last war 



130 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

has flooded the world by hordes of apostates, whose red 
hands now have our Repubhc by the throat. With the labor 
market at a premium, an appeal is made by those anarchists 
"to STAND FOR THEIR LIVES AND LET THE 
GOVERNMENT DO ITS DAMNDEST," words of Emma 
Goldman. But wait and see what God will do. 

To effect a restoration with this class of malcontents 
is not impossible for an Almighty God. His efforts always 
bring the required results. It is done by a survival of the 
weakest. And now that the League of Nations has met its 
Waterloo in the United States Senate, and even while those 
four giant nations of which Tolstoy speaks are rattling their 
swords in anticipation of another war, let the present dis- 
tracted world lose no faith in the coming conflict for a world 
wide new birth will certainly obtain. 



INTRODUCTION 

It is universally believed — and the idea is translated into 
our Bible — that the whole human family, Jew and Gentile, are 
descended from Adam and Eve. It is further believed that 
all of the races of men, Hebrew, Aryan and Turanian are 
descended from one and the same ancestor. From this erron- 
eous belief have come the agnosticisms of the day. "There 
can be but one beginning," says Baron Bunsen, the noted phil- 
ologist, and one of Germany's greatest scholars, and then 
this monogenist proceeds to contradict the Mosaic record, by 
antedating the creation of Adam and Eve, to about 20,000 
years before Noah's flood in order to meet the scientific re- 
quirements of a people who lived at that time. 

On the contrary, it will be shown that the Bible and sci- 
ence go hand in hand to prove that the human race has not 
been derived from one source but from a plurality of origins; 
that Adam and Eve were the heads of the Hebrews only and 
that this race only was destroyed by the flood. 

It will be shown that the Gentile nations of the earth had 
an origin of their own ; that each of these races had their own 
separate cradle beds; that their various languages and re- 
ligions did not and could not originate from the Hebrew par- 
entage; and that, according to both the Genesis account of 
Man and the truths of science, the Gentiles were created thou- 
sands of years before the Hebrews. 

THE SUBLETY OF THE BEAST. 

At no time possibly since the beginning of the Christian 
Era, has religion been so menaced as at the present and the 
Devil has been the cause of it. And at no time has there 

13T 



132 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

been such unanimity of effort against the powers of darkness 
as manifested during the past fifty years for evil spirits are 
still in the work. It has been a gigantic struggle of belief 
against unbelief, which has grown out of that one parentage 
theory. Born of an evil spirit, the present age of doubt and 
unbelief comes as a result. It was so planned. 

The following chapter is a history of science and of the 
hand-book of Nature based on Biblical truth. As verified by 
the Plural Origin of Man in chapters following that one proof 
is given which destroys that erroneous belief. But if the pur- 
pose of this treatise is the correction of that false translation 
only, it need not to have been written. The cunning hand of 
the evil one struck a blow at the Church in the dark, and that 
is the subject in consequence that now demands our attention. 
That hidden hand sidetracked faith in the living presence of 
the Savior of the world by making Moses a false prophet and 
that is what we would speak of now. That false teaching ad- 
vocating evolutionary processes instead of the Mosaic fiats, 
has led to this present age of doubt and unbelief, calling for 
our support of the prophecy which verifies "the birth of 
THE next nation" and that is our excuse for this second 
treatise on that subject, though the primary causes of this 
last war, originating also the Mosaic defection to that end, it 
should have a place here in this book.

CHAPTER I 



THE DAYS OF CREATION. 



Since the time of the translation of the great Bible in 
1539-41, the belief has been general that the progenitor of the 
human family was Adam, the husband of Eve. This belief 
which has received universal support, is based in part on the 
theory that the earth is something less than six thousand years 
old. Not only that, but because of that other theory of the 
unity of the race, the lay brother has been at a loss when try- 
ing to interpret this question to the unbeliever and like the 
blind leading the blind, both have fallen into the ditch. 

Now the Church having erred in this matter, a special 
Providence, it would seem, has raised up a body of learned 
men in the sciences whose deep researches into the mysteries 
of the material world have revealed the existence of man on 
this planet many centuries before the time the episode in the 
Garden of Eden occurred. Nor have these calculations on 
man's pre-Adamite existence in any way conflicted with the 
teaching of Biblical truth ; for in Genesis II 14 we find that the 
term "day" signifies generations. The record is as follows : 

''These are the generations of the heavens and the earth 
when they were created in the day the Lord God made the 
earth and the heavens." 

This verse shows that the Mosaic account has reference 
to a cosmic day and not a solar one, and that the term, gen- 
erations, would make any one of those six days much longer 
than the Day of Reformation or even that of the precession 
of the equinoxes, which required many thousands of years.

NEW BIRTH FROM MOSAIC PROPHECIES 1 35 

According to good authority, the Fifth Day for the creation 
of those great moving creatures of the deep waters covered 
a period of several millions of years; nor would Professor 
Haeckel's belief of 100,000,000 years for the antiquity of the 
earth conflict with this statement in Holy Writ, nor disagree 
either in the main with Archbishop Usher's chronological 
tables, which places the creation of Adam and Eve at about 
4004 B. C. The trouble is not with either the facts of science 
or with the truths of the Bible but in the interpretation of the 
origin of the race according to that false theory which makes 
Jew and Gentile both come out of the same cradle-bed and at 
one and the same time. 

THE SIXTH DAY OF CREATION. 

Moses might be called the Father of Prophecy. He was 
the first and the greatest of them all. He was the only 
prophet to whom God spake face to face, and the only one 
who wrote of things past as well as of things to come. He 
was the only one to whom was given the history of the uni- 
verse to write, and he gave the creative fiats of God from the 
dawn of creation to millennial morn. His first chapter ot 
Genesis is an encyclopaedia in itself. It contains a record of 
every fiat from the beginning, and Haeckel says the earth 
was made 100,000,000 years ago. 

Coming down through the ages to eons of centuries ago 
we enter upon the Sixth Day of Creation. That was in the 
Eocene Age, millions of years ago, when cattle and beasts of 
the field first appeared. Moses made a record of this cre- 
ation as found in Genesis i, 24. That verse refers to that 
long period of time when the earth was filled with quadru- 



136 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

peds, thick skinned at first, and of every kind afterwards. 
1'hen came the Miocene Age. 

The sun during that long era shone down on the regions 
around the North Pole like it does at the present time on both 
sides of the Equator. It was one long aeonian summer, with 
a delectable climate and tropical fruits in abundance. It was 
at this time the pithecanthropus, that ape man, first stalked 
forth into the world. Roosevelt, quoting Osborn, says that 
was about 500,000 years ago. 

Ex-President Warren located the first cradle bed of the 
human race at the North Pole. He probably did so on the 
belief that this beast was the ancestor of the human race. 
Professor Virchow, the ablest anthropologist of modern 
times, says in refutation of that supposed fact : 

"I have never found a single ape skull which approaches 
the human one. In vain have the links which should bind 
man to the monkey been sought." 

OUR GENTILE FOREFATHERS. 

Genesis I, 26 — Hebrew. 

The Pliocene Age closed out the Tertiary Period, and 
ushered in a new creation as different as fish is from fowl. 
Birds as big as horses had long since disappeared. It was at 
this time man came and Satan came too. That was about 
240,000 years ago, says Mr. Croll and Professor Geikie, as- 
tronomers whom Darwin frequently quotes. 

Moses makes record of this creation in Genesis i, 26. 
He speaks of it under the term name "Adam," which means 
people. There were the Heidelberg race, for example, sav- 
ages then as the Huns are now The Egyptians then had the 



THE DAYS OF CREATION 1 37 

same kind of a coffin shaped head. Also the Iberians, North 
American Indians, and other races of the Palaeohthic Age, 
all having the Old Stone Age skull. 

The ancient Gentile forefathers left some reminders for 
us of their times in the old Stone Age of man. One of these 
was old Neter, an object of adoration and worship for the 
ancient Egyptians. This idol can still be seen in the museum 
of antiquities at Dublin. 

Old Kankakee was another god of worship in that day. 
He was an Indian god, representing the age of the mastodon, 
the bones of which are still preserved by the Dakota tribe in 
their medicine bag with great veneration. As the remains of 
this huge beast have been found in Southern Ohio it may be 
old Kankakee once chased the animal over the southern plains 
of that State, and as a wild hunter rose from a chieftain to a 
god of worship. That was the way old Neter attained his 
exalted place on high. His symbol was simply an axe head. 
If tradition is correct many may have been the great beasts 
of Egypt knocked in the head by his stone axe head. That 
the gods were genuine in that day is evident from the fact that 
from the time men had tongues to babble with they had idols 
and isms to quarrel about. 

THE NEW STONE AGE. 

After the sun had cycled the Ice Age, going from pole 
to pole at the rate of i° for every 10,000 years, it came into 
the New Stone Age of man, taking 160,000 years to turn 
back and make the journey. As the angle of the Earth's axis 
to the plane of the ecliptic is now only 23° 27' it will be a long- 
while before flowers will grow around the North Pole again. 

The change from the old regime to the new or from the 



138 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Old Stone Age to the new one brought new creations. It 
brought another species of the human family also a new flora 
and a new fauna. They were not evolutions as the evolution- 
ists would have us believe, but new creations, as different 
from those of the Old Stone Age as one race has always been 
different from that of another. Another species of plant 
life came also. If climatic conditions did not produce these 
changes, what did? 

It is not known how many Ice Ages the world has had 
since the sun has been rolling around the globe from pole to 
pole, but in making its journey this last time from the Paleo- 
lithic to the Neolithic Age it brought into evidence a race of 
men of the Aryan type, very different from those who came 
first. Their heads were broad, not long, as in the old Turan- 
ian family. Scientists call it the brachycephalic head, of 
which the Celtic is a type. The Old Stone Age head was 
long like the Egyptians. It was called a doliochocephalic 
type, and these two types according to Broca have been per- 
sistent. It is only another way the father of comparative 
anatomy had when saying that these two races were of dif- 
ferent species. 

The sheep, the dog and the reindeer now appear for the 
first time, says Hugh Miller. The mastodon, the woolly 
rhinoceros, have become extinct. And the earth too, as if ap- 
proaching the wants of a more advanced civilization for the 
fair sex now brings forth plants for luxurious purposes also. 

In former ages when the cave man was more pugilistic 
than polite about getting his wife, cosmetics had no commer- 
cial value. But after he had changed his dugout "*^or a kitch- 
en-midden to live in, he became vain, and then thymes, mints 
and lavendars came into evidence. This was in "Ye Olden 



THE DAYS OF CREATION 1 39 

Time," about 80,000 years ago, but there were no suffragettes 
as yet so far as we know. 

About 25,000 years ago, quoting Roosevelt again, the 
Cro-Magnon race made its appearance on the plains of Eu- 
rope. They were our more immediate Gentile ancestors. 
Like the Heidelberg man of the Old Stone Age, and the Nean- 
derthal tribe of the New Stone Age, they were called "Adam" 
in the Mosaic record- Gen, i, 26. Hebrew. 

St. Paul speaks of these pre-Edenic people in Acts 17, 26- 
2^. Like dogs and cats, made of one blood but a different 
species, these people of different races were of different spe- 
cies also. Their bounds and habitations having before been 
determined, racial characteristics made them indigenous to 
the soil to which they belonged. And whether black as tar, 
like the negro ; or yellow as saffron, like the Mongolian ; or 
red as copper, like the North American Indian ; or brown as 
old leather, like the Malay, each race had its own cradle bed ; 
and as there were hundreds of races there were hundreds of 
cradle-beds also. 

THE HA ADAMIC RACE. 

Genesis 1-27. 

At the time of the episode in the Garden of Eden, 4004 
B. C., the earth was filled with different races of men, each 
race having a language of its own, also its own religion. The 
Indians have not evolved many new gods since that time, but 
the Egyptians have, and as the Greeks said, they had gods 
that grew in gardens. Jupiter, said to be the strongest god 
in the universe, was the Roman god ; and there were gods ga- 
lore everywhere. Archaeology, somewhat specific in this 
case, gives us particulars about Sargon, 3800 B. C. He is 



I40 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

spoken of as having restored him kingdoms by that time and 
then ruHng over Babylon a great king. 

Long before that day the Babylonians had their temple 
library at Nippur ; their sun and moon gods a plenty ; and so 
had our own Aryan forefathers, known as those Wise and 
Honorable men of Aryanna, who then lived on the plains of 
Asia Minor. But of all religions of those ancient times, 
none compared to Zoroastrianism. Their Avesta was the 
oldest Bible in the world ; their Rig Vedas were the sweetest 
hymns of the pre-Edenic eras; nevertheless, not their gods 
nor any of the four gods our ancient fathers of the Indo-Eu- 
ropean family had, any more than any of the sun and moon 
gods, in the temple at Shamash, at Sippar, could raise the 
dead or give life eternal. Hence the creation of the Ha 
Adamic race for the evolution of Jesus Christ, the Savior of 
the world- 



CHAPTER II 



THE PLURAL ORIGIN OF MAN. 



The following extracts from General Thomas A. Davies' 
book, entitled — "Am I A Jew OR A Gentile," will give proof 
of the plural origin of man. Under the term name of 
"Adam" has been given those Aryan and Turanian Gentiles 
who lived in different parts of the earth before the Hebrew 
race, spoken of under the term name of "Ha Adam," came 
into existence. The preceding chapter speaks of the Gentile 
races, and the following chapter will speak of the Hebrews : 

"As this booklet was published for free distribution and, 
as it is now out of print, we take pleasure in reproducing 
parts of it. The General says, "the reader will find in Genesis 
I, 26-27, the creation of two distinct classes of people. He 
will find in Gen. i, 26, that of the Gentile people and in Gen. 
I, 2y, the creation of The Adam, male and female, which is 
the creation of the heads of the Hebrew race. "The Adam" 
was the husband of Eve, the ancestors of the Hebrew race 
only, and tracing their descendants through (after making 
the translation of the Flood account) he will find a distinct 
line of people called Jews, which evolved the Saviour of Man- 
kind." 

"The Adam," the male head of the Jewish line was se- 
lected by God to undergo the test of obedience to his laws, and 
the Hebrews as a race to make, publish and ventilate those 
laws by writing in the Hebrew the books of the Old Testa- 
ment ; and in the Greek those of the New Testament, and fi- 
nally making Jesus Christ crucified the index of those laws. 

141 



142 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

That race has been the chosen people of God for those 
purposes. 

ADAM AND HA ADAM. 

"There are two terms used many times in the book of 
Genesis which signify what those of Gentiles and Jews do 
now. They are Adam and Ha Adam. The term Adam is used 
first in Gensis i, 26, and according to Genesis 5, 2, means 
many. The term Ha Adam is used first in Genesis i, 27 and 
about forty times thereafter. It stands for the husband of 
Eve and as the representative head of the Ha Adam race 
which evolved Jesus Christ. After the Flood, the Ha Adam 
race with the exception of Noah and his family, having been 
destroyed by that great deluge, the terms Hebrew, Israelite 
and Jew were used instead of the term Ha Adam. 

"Each verse of the first chapter of Genesis gives a com- 
plete record of an event in itself. It was for that reason the 
word "And" begins each verse of the first chapter of Genesis. 
That word "And" is found in the Hebrew text of the 27th 
verse the same as in the others but when the first Bible was 
published the word "and" beginning the 27th verse was 
changed to "So." That was done in order to make but one 
record out of two events found in the 26th and 27th verses 
together. By making one record out of the two verses, and 
changing the term Adam to man in the 26th verse and the 
term Ha Adam to man in the 27th verse the Mosaic account 
was made to agree with the one parentage theory. The 
changing of those terms also led to another corruption of the 
Mosaic text. The term Adam signifies a creation. There is no 
other word in the English language that signifies a creation, 
and it was for that reason Moses used the word Adam in that 



THE PLURAL ORIGIN OF MAN I43 

connection. The term "man" means birth. As God did not 
create a man born of a woman Moses did not use "ish" mean- 
ing man in that account. Neither is it possible to make the 
term man mean many in the first instance — verse 26 — and 
one in the second — verse 27 — when used in the one and same 
connection. It was by these corrupt changes, however, that 
the unit theory was estabHshed and by continual changes 
throughout the Genesis account was sustained. 

''When we come to the Flood we find that the cause of 
that deluge was brought about by the marriage of the Adam 
race with that of the Ha Adam people of God, or as it might 
be stated now, by the marriage of Jews to negroes, Chinese 
and other Gentiles The miscegenation of the races is a vio- 
lation of God's law of reproduction. In consequence of that 
violation the great flood destroyed the Ha Adam race only, 
not the Gentiles, as the reader will find that the original He- 
brew record so states. Our translators, however, wanting 
to preserve the unit theory of the race mistranslated that 
account, so that ''Adam" the same as "Ha Adam," came un- 
der the ban of God's displeasure, under the term name "Man" 
to mean one or many as wanted, 

"The Oxford Revision dropped the word "So" at the 
head of verse 27 in the Genesis account of man which raised 
the question with General Thomas A. Davies as to the indi- 
vidual record then of the 26th and 27th verses respectively. 
By their restoring the word "And" implied two events one 
for each of those two verses. The conjunction "And" is 
copulative. It shows that something has been added while 
the rejection of the word "So" destroys the purpose of the 
Revisionists to tie the accounts of the two verses up as one 
record. The further use of the term "man" in the plural 



144 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

sense in verse 26, and in its individual sense in verse 27 shows 
that this term would not convey the meaning of the Mosaic 
account which led to the restoration of the terms "Adam" in 
verse 26, and to that of "Ha Adam" in verse 27, So the Gen- 
eral went through the book of Genesis and having restored 
all original terms wherever rejected found that the Bible as 
thus corrected fully destroyed the one parentage theory al- 
together. 

We will now quote from General Davies' little work to 
prove that the Ha Adam people here stood for the Hebrew 
race only, who were destroyed by the Flood. The term 
"Adam," verse 26, and thereafter has reference to Gentiles. 

BIBLE. 

Gen. I. 26. And God said, let us make MAN in our 
image, after our likeness, and let THEM have dominion over 
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the 
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 
that creepeth upon the earth. 

HEBREW. 

26- And God said, let us make ADAM in our image, 
after our likenss, and let THEM have dominion over the fish 
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, 
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that 
creepeth upon the earth. 

For definition of the term Adam in this verse, see Gen. 
V. II. 



THE PLURAL ORIGIN OF MAN I45 

BIBLE. 

27, So God created MAN in his own image, in the im- 
age of God created he him male and female created he 
THEM. 

HEBREW. 

27. And God created THE ADAM in his own image, 
in the image of God created he HIM, male and female, cre- 
ated he THEM. 

The above Hebrew verses will be sufficient to show 
the translator's misuse of the term man for those of Adam, 
and Ha Adam, while the following true account of the Flood 
will be sufficient to prove that it was Ha Adam not Adam 
who were destroyed by Noah's deluge. The records from the 
Bible and the Hebrew accounts are as follows : 

BIBLE. 

I. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on 
the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. 

HEBREW. 

1. And it came to pass, when THE ADAM began to 
multiply upon the face of the earth, and daughters were born 
unto them. 

Note: In this verse, in the Bible and in the Revision, 
THE ADAM is rendered "men" while in the Hebrew it is 
THE ADAM- 
BIBLE. 

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, 
that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which 
they chose. 



146 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

HEBREW. 

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of THE 
ADAM, that they were fair ; and they took them wives of all 
which they chose. 

Note: In this verse, in the Bible and in the Revision, 
THE ADAM in each is rendered "men," while in the Hebrew 
it is THE ADAM. 

BIBLE. 

4. There were giants in the earth in those days, and 
also after that when the sons of God came in unto the 
daughters of men, that they bare children to them, the same 
mighty men, which were of old, men of renown. 

HEBREW. 

4. There were giants in the earth in those days, and 
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the 
daughters of THE ADAM, and they bare children to them, 
the same became mighty men, which were of old men of 
renown. 

Note: In this verse, the Bible and the Revision, THE 
ADAM in each is rendered "men", while in the Hebrew it is 
THE ADAM. 

BIBLE. 

7. And the Lord said, I will destroy man, whom I have 
created, from the face of the earth ; both man and beast, and 
the creeping thing and the fowls of the air ; for it repenteth 
me that I have made them. 

HEBREW. 

7. And the Lord said, I will destroy THE ADAM, 
whom I have created, from the face of the ground; from 



THE PLURAL ORIGIN OF MAN 147 

ADAM unto beast, and the creeping thing and the fowl of the 
air ; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 

Note: In this verse, which controls what was to be de- 
stroyed by flood, is wonderfully distorted from the Hebrew, 
both in the Bible and in the Revision. 

In the Bible, in the first instance, THE ADAM is rendered 
"man" and in the second instance is rendered "man;" also in 
the Revision the same; while in the Hebrew, the first is THE 
ADAM and the second ADAM- This is not all. In the 
Bible and in the Revision is inserted the following: "both 
man and beast," while in the Hebrew it is "from ADAM unto 
beast," a very decided difference as to what was to be de- 
stroyed. "I will destroy THE ADAM from the face of the 
ground, from ADAM unto beast. Here Adam is the boun- 
dary line on the one side, and beast on the other, and THE 
ADAM, the subject destroyed, within them. This is equiv- 
alent to recording that Adam was not to be destroyed. 

GENESIS, CHAPTER VIII. 

21. And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord 
said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more 
for THE ADAM'S sake; for the imagination of THE 
ADAM'S heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again 
smite any more everything living, as I have done." 

Note: For want of space here the coming work on 
"The Plural Origin of Man," will give the forty or more 
verses, wherein the term "Ha Adam" is used in contradis- 
tinction to that of "Adam." 



CHAPTER III 

WHAT SOME EMINENT AUTHORITIES SAY ABOUT ADAM AND 

HA ADAM. 

Professor A. H. Sayce, that eminent assyriologist, not 
being able to discern more than the record of one event out of 
the 26th and 27th verses, not only confuses the "Adam" of 
the first with the *'Ha Adam" of the second, but gets into 
a tangle with the subject plural in the first case with the sub- 
ject singular in the second. Hear him : 

"Elohim is a plural noun, and its employment in the Old 
Testament as a singular has given rise to a large amount of 
learned discussion, and, it must also be added, of a learned 
want of common sense. Grammarians have been in the habit 
of evading the difficulty by describing it as a "pluralis ma- 
jestatis," a plural of majesty, or something similar, as if a 
term in common use which was grammatically a plural could 

ever have come to be treated as a singular 

We may take it for granted, therefore, that if the Hebrew 
word Elohim had not once signified plural "gods" it would 
never have been given a plural form, and the best proof of 
this is the fact that in .several passages the word is still used 
in a plural sense. Indeed there are one or two passages, as for 
example Genesis i. 26, where the word, although referring 
to the God of Israel, is yet employed with a plural verb, much 
to the bewilderment of the Jewish rabbi and the Christian 
commentators, who followed them." 

This distinguished writer, as it is seen from the above, 
like all monogenists, has the wrong notion as usual because 
cf the one parentage theory. 

148 



ADAM AND HA ADAM 1 49 

THE THEORIST. 

The work of the theorist has always been to destroy the 
idea of the plural origin of man, and it will be seen from the 
above booklet that the Genesis account of man was distorted 
for that purpose. Nevertheless, the original Hebrew record 
revealed the creation in the first instance, verse 26, to minds 
like that of Proffessor Sayce of peoples only in a way by a 
triune God, and a single individual — verse 2y — by Jehovah 
above, hence the "pluralis majestatis" was all right, whether 
he understood it or not. 

From Professor Poole's "Genesis of Earth and Man" we 
have the same question discussed from another viewpoint. 
Some passages of scripture are given by this author to show 
that there was an origination of the human races from Adam 
and of others that apparently indicate the existence of an off- 
spring not descended from Adam and Eve.'Tf," says he, "we 
regard the first individual of a new variety of a species, 
which had universally sinned but not become extinct, we may 
not only understand God created a female for him, but 
also why we find no mention of the creation of wives for his 
sons. The sinless Adam needed a sinless wife ; put in the case 
of Cain and Seth, the same necessity did not obtain, they hav- 
ing been corn fallen creatures." 

This author of the human family starts from *'Adam", 
the Egyptians, saying they were "Adam". The "Adam" 
in the former instance means the race of Adam 
and in the latter instance the nature of Adam. This 
is the way Poole originated an aboriginal "Adamite" 
race in the heart of the Dark Continent, and with strict prop- 
riety excludes them from the "The Adamite" race in the lat- 



150 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

ter case without knowing just what he had done. He had al- 
most thought out the two "varieties" of man, as he puts it, in 
the terms, "adam" and "the Adam" as he frequently writes 
those names. But he closes his discussion by an admittance 
of the species of the races of man only in an implied way, by 
saying, "But for species of man, we must substitute variety 
unless we oppose a great majority of men of science." This 
certainly was not a very creditable back-down after differen- 
tiating between the Nigritian and the Jew, neither of whom 
ever belonged to the same species. 

The one parentage theory of the human family has al- 
ways been maintained. "There can be but one beginning," 
says Bunsen again and so say they all. That theory domi- 
nated the translation of the Genesis account, in the King 
James Bible, nor had a question ever been raised as to the fal- 
sity of that record, until about fifty years ago. After science 
had revealed bones and skeletons of the human family that 
must have had an existence aeons of ages before Adam and 
Eve delved in the Garden of Eden, 4004 B. C., then mono- 
genists began to question the authenticity of the Mosaic rec- 
ord. The Biblical record very plainly accounts for the Pales- 
tine Cradle-Bed not more than 6,000 years ago. It is a 
chronological record which verifies Archbishop Usher's table 
as approximately correct, but it is one for the Hebrew race 
only, not for that of Gentiles. Neither believer nor unbe- 
liever accepts it as a correct one because of that false opinion 
respecting common origin for all human kind. 

The idea of the human family belonging to various spe- 
cies has been, and is still, bitterly opposed by men, possessing 
great scholarship. That seems to be the universal opinion 
also. They all quote scripture to prove man was made of one 



ADAM AND HA ADAM I5I 

flesh. So was there but one flesh of birds and another of 
animals, and lo! the many species. There is no greater dif- 
ference between a bull pup and a tom cat, or a crow and a ca- 
nary bird, than there is between a negro as black as tar, and a 
Mongolian as yellow as saffron. The round hair and the 
round orbits of the one could never have come out of the same 
cradle-bed with the flat hair and the lozen-shaped eye of the 
other. Neither could either of those races have come out of 
the Palestine cradle-bed, no matter when created. 

That the negro cannot be derived from the Malay is no 
more true than the impossibilit}^ of deriving the North Amer- 
ican Indian from the Hebrew. That the rete-mucosum of the 
negro or the depigmentation of the Albino are not inter- 
changeable proves that the white and black races do not come 
from the same parent head. Yet the scientist contrary to his 
own reasoning, affirms the very thing he is constantly deny- 
ing, and while admitting ineradical differences between the 
races, will nevertheless assume, as Professor Muller does, 
that there can be but one common source for man. 

The scientist will admit that the flat hair of the Mongo- 
lian, round hair of the negro, lank hair of the North Ameri- 
can Indian, have always exhibited those differences that they 
do now. They will admit that noses of some races are long 
or short, in others broad or flat, eyes red or green, straight 
or lozen-shaped ; lips thick or thin, soles of feet flat or arched ; 
or skin red as copper, white as saffron or bleak as tar, and 
that all of these differences have existed from the beginning. 
Yet to be true to that theory, they must have all come from 
one common stock. 

"Through a wonderful provision of nature," Dr. Clarke, 
of Indianapolis, says : "I am prepared to say that any of the 



152 



BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 



races of men can be told by the examination of the blood un- 
der the miscroscope. It is decided by the arrangement of the 
red corpuscles- In the Caucasian they will be even; in the 
Indian, in curls ; in the Ethiopian, straight ; in the Mongolian, 
in round circles and in the Malay in crosses like an "X". An 
admixture of Ethiopian blood in a Caucasian by birth will 
give the Ethiopian arrangement to the corpuscles." 



CHAPTER IV 

THE BIBLICAL MYTH. AS BASED ON THE UNIT THEORY. 

The world loves a true man even though he is an 
agnostic. Colonel Ingersoll was such a man. In religious 
matters he differed from the Church and thought it a prepos- 
terous thing to hold a creed in violation of the truths of 
science. Having the courage of his convictions, he boldly- 
proclaimed that the Egyptians could not have been derived 
from our Hebrew parents of the Palestine era. Such a 
conclusion had its foundation only in a myth. ''Those people," 
he said, "had measured the heavens, squared the circle and 
built the pyramids before the time of Adam and Eve;" and 
in giving utterance to these words, Ingersoll did the cause of 
Biblical truth a great service. 

We find that there came a flood after the creation of 
Adam and drowned the whole world save Noah and his 
family of eight persons. After that supposed great world- 
wide deluge, Shem, Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, 
became the ancestral heads of the different races of the 
earth. Shem became the head of the present Jewish 
populace consisting of not more than 15,000,000 souls. 
Japheth, the more favored son of the family, became the 
progenitor of the European nations, consisting of about 
300,000,000 souls; and Ham, the accursed son, was left to 
father the remaining population of the world — about one 
and one-third billions all told — , and he did not have a 
harem to start with either. 

And the story further saith. 

About the year 2247 B. C, when the tower of Babel 

153 



154 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

fell, Japheth and his family left the plains of Shinar for 
another place of abode. Their journey was made towards 
the north and west, and after crossing the Oxus and the 
Jaxartes, they settled on a high plateau of land known as the 
plains of Western Asia, east of the Caspian Sea; and 
Bactria was their capital center. 

So it came to pass when Japheth and his children pedes- 
trinated to the north and west, they kept their Hebrew heart, 
religion and language until they reached that high plateau 
of land on Aryan ground, then they changed. Before that 
they spoke Hebrew, or something like that — now they speak 
Sanskrit, and that change was about as great, as it would be 
for a race of nomads to slough off birdlore and speak Greek. 
And their religion likewise changed. There were changes 
brought about like the boy's shirt that got turned inside out 
climbing over the fence. 

In time, these Japhetites, who had now become Aryan- 
ites, multiplied in numbers beyond the capacity of their 
Aryan home and had to journey in colonies to foreign lands 
to get other places to live. By these second migrations, 
Europe became peopled. According to Adelung, the first of 
these Aryanite colonies to migrate was the Celtic one. They 
made their way westward, but they did not change into 
Irishmen until after they had sailed over the Irish sea, but 
havino- once touched the shore of Erin, they became those 
swarthy prognathous brachycephalie nation of people always 
known by their brogue, their wit and good hard sense. 

Following the Celtic migration, a colony went eastward 
and settled in India. They were called Hindoos. Another 
colony settled in Persia. The last colony changed its language 
from the Sanskrit to Zend, and its religious worship for that 



THE BIBLICAL MYTH 155 

of Zoroaster. Other colonies also left the parent hive, but 
their direction was westward. They became Romans, 
Greeks, Germans and Scandinavians. As fast as they 
departed each in turn sloughed off the old religion and the 
old speech and put on new ones. Everything became new 
again — religion, language and all. All of these changes were 
made after the tower of Babel fell, about four thousand 
years ago. These seven nations, to which we belong, known 
as the Indo-European family, have been the only family on 
the globe who have made any history. From their thrones in 
that little nook of the earth called Europe they have ruled 
over Jew and Hamite in every other corner of the world. 

But as to Ham ! What became of poor Ham ? 

The poor have always been blessed with poverty and 
many children; but this poor exile had to father all the 
heathen nations of the world. The Jews had but one language 
and one religion. The Japhetites were confined to Euroj.-e 
but the Hamites had to father races, languages and religio::- 
too many to count; their progeny runs up into the billions 
The only thing they ever had was poverty and that fruitful 
progeny. 

It is an historical fact that the earth after the flood, 
even in Noah's day, was filled with people. Before the flood 
it was Adam and Ha Adam, but after the time of that greal 
inundation it was Hebrew and Gentile and Gentiles covered 
the earth. That was a miracle performed by Shem, Ham 
and Japhet even in the time of their own father, if the uniL 
theory is correct. 

When we remember what those three boys did towards 
replenishing the earth with a few hundred different racc^ 
of people before the old man was gathered to his fathers, we 



156 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

uncover our heads in admiration of the task performed, it 
ought to excite the admiration of a Roosevelt even. We 
would like to have attended one of Noah's family reunions. 
A reunion of the Smith family would pale in comparison. 
The dwellers on the Swiss lakes in the days of Noah 
amounted to thousands, and they were only a small portion 
of the inhabitants of the whole round globe at that time. 
There were the Egyptians, Mongolians, North American 
Indians, the negroes of Africa, South Sea Islands and oJier 
nations not saying anything about the hordes from Green- 
lands Icy Mountains, and elsewhere. 

But the question remains to be answered. 

How came the earth to be so fully peopled, so soon af'.er 
the flood? 

Sir Charles Lyell, an authority on geolog'ral questions 
whom Darwin often quotes supplies the answer 

According to Sir Charles, the immediate families of 
Noah, it would seem, had a habit of boat riding after the 
days of the flood. It was a habit acquired probably by being 
tossed about in the ark so much. So these people would take 
long excursions, and sometimes thoughtless ones would 
venture too far on the angry waves of the wild sea, and get 
lost. Then it would happen frequently that contrary winds 
would carry them to foreign shores and not always having 
friendly storms to carry them back those foreign lands would 
in this way become peopled. It is probable that wherever one 
of these boat parties became stranded, or left a finger mark, 
or a toe scratch, there — Aphrodite-like — a new race of people 
with a new language and a new religion would spring up. 
Selah. 



CHAPTER V 

THE SCIENTIFIC MYTH AS BASED ON THE UNIT THEORY. 

In 1735, Linnaeus wrote his Systema Naturae. In this 
great work an arrangement of the various kinds of plants 
and animals, according to their families, was made. As 
families are related so he grouped them into classes, giving 
to each group a special name. Latinizing the cat tribe, the 
lion tribe, the bear tribe, etc. Eighty years afterwards, 
(Cuvier, the great naturalist, devised a much more perfect 
system of classification. He held to the same belief that 
Linnaeus did that each different species was separately 
created, by an infinite Being. In other words they both 
believed in the unchangeableness of the species. 

The Theory of Evolution supposes just the opposite of 
that. To the Evolutionist nothing is fixed or stable. Every- 
thing is constantly changing, and continual change origin- 
ated species from varieties. First there is a spontaneous 
generation to begin with. After that, in the struggle for ex- 
istence, changes are brought about, as Darwin says, "b}^ 
means of natural selection," the survival of the fittest, etc. 

In the year 1809, when Darwin was born, there came 
into notice the publication of a work which gave some 
glimpses of the theory of Evolution. This was Lamark's 
Philosophic Zoologique which laid the foundation of the Dar - 
winian theory. Lamark assumed that life had a spontaneous 
origin. This assumption is the foundation stone of the 
theory. It is something from nothing to start with. Out of 
chaos comes the lower forms of plant existences first, and, 
by a series of changes, animal life follows. Constant changes 
evolves man. And this is the basis of the Scientific Myth. 

157 



158 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Now comes species. We are told by Lamark that new 
wants demand of an animal new exertions, and these exer- 
tions in turn develop new parts to satisfy wants heretofore 
unsatisfied by parts not yet developed; and the develop- 
ment of these new parts produces a different species. 

This is the germ of the new theory. 

Geoffrey St. Hilaire, another scientist saw dimly as 
Lamark did. His theory was that in nature there is a law of 
compensation. If one organ develops slowly, another organ 
develops strongly. The strong organ will eventually win out 
at the expense of the other. A survival of the fittest is what 
that means, probably. 

There were a number of able writers who followed 
Lamark and St. Hillaire, including Huxley, the anatomist, 
and Goethe and Schiller, the poets, but the man who stirred 
this question to the bottom was Darwin. His great work on 
the "Origin of Species/' published in 1859, and his "Descent 
of Man" published in 1871, are based on the theory of change 
and development from primary to ultimate conditions. 
Instead of a creation by a higher power, who begat every 
thing by word of mouth, animal and plant life arose from 
low forms, and then by constant change the present results 
in the higher life were attained. This change which produces 
such great results, we are told, is brought about by natural 
selection, sexual selection, geological succession and so forth. 

In the consideration of homological structures of animal 
life, Darwin came to the conclusion that inasmuch as the 
bones in man's skeleton compared with corresponding bones 
in that of a monkey and some other animals; and because 
man is developed from an ovule that differs in no respect 
from the ovules of other animals, man, therefore, as well as 



THE SCIENTIFIC MYTH I59 

monkeys came from the same parental source. Then he elab- 
orates on similarities of animals to prove that not only the 
bodily structure of man is of the same general type or model 
as other mammals, but that the habits and the characteristics 
of the one is the same as that of the other. He has the same 
diseases in some cases; is subject to the same conditions in 
other respects; and, when speaking of man's prototype, 
Darwin says that baboons will drink beer and get drunk like 
a man and that some monkeys still smoke tobacco and drink 
tea with as much pleasure as we do. 

Professor Haeckel, of Jena, is one of the chief apostles 
of evolution. It was Haeckel who enlarged upon a hint in 
Darwin's great work about the "Descent of Man" and he was 
the first, probably, to proclaim this doctrine from the house- 
top. In 1898 at the International Congress of Zoologists at 
Cambridge, he said : 

"The direct descent of man from some extinct ape-like 
form is now beyond doubt, and admits of being much more 
clearly traced than the origin of many another mammalian 
order." "Of course," he says, "this fact cannot be proved 
exactly," etc. MOST CERTAINLY NOT. 

This dream about something not exactly clear was 
threshed out in the visionary sunlight of science until evolu- 
tionists were satisfied, however. 
Then came a revelation. 

In 1894 every student of evolution had his attention 
drawn to an extraordinary discovery made by Dr. Eugene 
DuBois. This Dutch Army surgeon found in an ancient rock 
formation of Java some fossilized bones that proved to be the 
remains of an animal partaking of some of the characteristics 
of the ape and some of man. This hitherto unknown animal 



l60 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

was named the ape-man or pithecanthropus erectus. It was 
exhibited at the Zoological Congress at Leyden in 1895 where 
a number of zoologists declared that it was of a certainty one 
of the missing links connecting man with his ape-like an- 
cestors. 

Professor Haeckel has given us in his great work, 
"Systematic Phylogeny," a genealogical tree of man. In this 
pedigree a little something that came into existence about 
100,000,000 years ago becomes the starting point. This little 
something which he called a monera changed from a dead 
thing into a living one, by a self generating process ; ex- 
plained by Haeckel's fundamental biogenetic law. Its growth 
was based on a supposition, and having the supposition to 
start with, one thing after another follows. About 40,000,000 
years after this monera arose of itself into life, a one-celled 
plant came, then a two-celled plant, then a many-celled, and 
finally there was a tangled forest filled with skulless animals. 

This was in "Ye olden time" when our ancestors first 
became flat worms and mud-fish. 

About 60,000,000 years after the monera appeared, our 
ancestors began to come forth, and the earth is now full of 
people. 

THE UNIT THEORY. 

The unit theory is a queer one, but the idea of a common 
parentage for the different races of men is a general one. 
That there should be a plural origin for the plant family, also 
for the lower animals and not for the human kind, is contrary 
to reason. It is neither biblical nor scientific. The only way 
we can account for that unanimity of opinion is that the idea 
of the unity of the races is the most mischievous of any, and 



THE SCIENTIFIC MYTH l6l 

Satan had it translated into the Bible as the best way to 
satisfy the contrariness of man to his own advantage. 

On the morning of creation all was darkness and in a 
state of diversity. Then God's spirit moved over the face of 
the great deep and a unification of everything diverse began 
to take place. But Satan got that wrong. He taught the 
heathen philosopher that out of unity came diversity, and 
modern philosophers stole that idea from the heathens. That 
is where monism, the foundation stone of monogentism, the 
basis of the theory of evolution comes in. It materialized 
adversely to Monaism. Professor Haeckel founded his school 
on that idea. The professor took his cue from Darwin who 
found that ovules in men and monkeys were the same ; hence 
men from monkeys came. But Haeckel found that ovules in 
bugs and beetles, flat worms, et cetera, were the same as 
found in men and monkeys. Then the professor from Jena 
went in search of the original spore from which everything 
having life came from, and found a monad. Ergo! Another 
star in the galaxy of philosophers appeared in the German 
heavens and students now in the universities of that country 
have found that the Mosaic law of kind after kind did not 
hold in Leipsic and Heidelburg. 

Those German philosophers discovered that life came 
from that little dead thing that slipped out of the crack of the 
tmiverse when the earth was made, which the Professor 
found by his biogenetic process was about 100,000,000 years 
ago. Now having a supposition for his hypothesis, it was not 
long before that little dead thing got up and began to evolve 
things. First came mud, fish headless worms and people like 
that ; and they held their carnivals in leafless forests. But 
after the earth had been in travail about fifty thousand years. 



l62 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

bugs, beetles, bees, bull-frogs, with its cousin-German family 
in general appeared. 

But nothing amounted to much until salamanders came, 
and they had gills as well as tails. This was in "Ye Olden 
Times," when our forefathers did not socialize much until 
the smart set shuffled into society. And some of them had 
caudal appendages as long as whiplashes. Lastly came "us". 

Now, students of biological science are trying to trace 
their pedigrees back of monkeydom through the kingdom of 
bugdom, to the nomad that Haeckel found. A year or so ago 
Doctor Lyman Abbott in answer to a query as to our origin 
from monkeys, made the statement in the Ladies Home 
Journal that man was not descended from monkeys, but that 
man and monkeys both descended from the same parental 
source. Whether from Haeckel's monad was not stated. It 
would be interesting to have the Doctor explain more fully, 
just how the swirl of protoplasm would make a bee or a bug 
in one case, a man or a mouse in another. None but a cyto- 
logist would know. The Abbott family noted for its scholar- 
ship from the time Sir George Abbot assisted in the erroneous 
translation of the Genesis account of man for King James's 
Bible in 1611, on down to that of Dr. Lyman, whom all the 
world loves. But that scholarship has counted against 
Moses, and the authenticity of the Old Testament Scriptures, 
and all the world ought to know the Doctor's reasons for 
those views maintained so notoriously. 

"From what we ourselves know," says Dana, the 
geologist, "there is a system of prophecy which in types fore- 
shadows succeeding eras. We find," he says, "the introduc- 
tion of life going on while inorganic history was yet incom- 
plete but finished in its fundamental ideas." 



THE SCIENTIFIC MYTH 163 

Then beginning with the lower grades of species and 
speaking of the appearances of new types as they come along, 
he enumerates the passing of the tribes of the different eras. 
How the era of mammals was foreshadowed by the ap- 
pearance of mammals in the reptilian era, and how that the 
era of reptiles was prophesied in types that lived in the 
earlier carboniferous era, and so on. In his work on fossil 
fishes, Agassiz also speaks of those phases of development 
"of all living animals" as they correspond to the order of 
succession of their extinct representatives in past geological 
times. But there is nothing inconsistent in what either Dana 
or Agassiz says about the creation of species. There is a 
geological succession of one type after another, but there is 
neither proof of a spontaneous creation nor of links con- 
necting a type of one species with that of another. 

The ovule of an animal of the articulata class, under 
the microscope, may look like the ovule of one of the verte- 
brate animals, but that does not prove a common origin. The 
ovule of a frog, a spider and man may be as nearly alike as 
two peas in a pod, but the swirl in the life of each of these 
protoplasmas is as different as that in old rags, molasses or 
the attar of roses, notwithstanding we are told by the chemist 
that the same original elements in the same combinations as 
to number, enter into the composition of each of these 
three articles of commerce precisely in the same way. 

In the first place primary elements are constant, ihey 
are but few in number, and constitute the rock bed founda- 
tion of all nature. After their creation in that of heaven 
and earth, God rested from all his works CREATED TO 
MAKE. See (Hebrews) Genesis 11:3. After that things 
were made, not created. The seed of the Century plant was 



164 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

created, but it took a hundred years to make the plant. Out 
of the earth came vegetable life on the Third Day and animal 
life on the Sixth Day, but while both plant and animal liie 
were made out of the earth, yet from the beginning an 
animal has always been as different from a plant, as old rags 
are different from molasses. There is about as much 
liklihood of finding the connecting link between old rags and 
molasses as there is in finding it in Haeckel's pedigree of 
man. For the primary elements remain the same as on the 
day they were created and no cytologist has yet found out 
the secret in the movements of that lifegiving principle, 
which will make a bee in one case, a bat in the other or a 
mouse or a man in another. The Mosaic law of "kind after 
kind" holds good, throughout all time. In man it is now as 
it was in the time of the pithecanthropus, simply "kind after 
kind." 



CHAPTER VI 
noah's ark. 

If the whole world was drowned there would have been 
many thousands of animals outside of Palestine to be cared 
for, so many in fact, the land of Palestine itself would hardly 
have held them. According to Hugh Miller, whose estimates 
were based on information obtained from Johnston's 
Physical Atlas, there were 1658 species of mammals, 6266 
species of birds, according to Lesson, 656 species of reptiles, 
according to Charles Bonaparte, all of which were to be kept 
and fed for a ten months' sea voyage in the ark. Then too, 
when we take into consideration the size of some of those 
animals — for the unit theory will not exclude those now 
extinct — we are still further amazed at some of the supposed 
facts in the case. For some of those animals of pre-historic 
times were very large. There were mammals in that day 
with jaw bones ten and twelve feet long and the provender 
necessary to sustain them during a long sea voyage would be 
great. Some of those birds were ten and twelve feet high. 
The Dinorus was as big as a horse and something larger 
than mere bird cages would have been necessary for their ac- 
commodation, while some of the serpents were fifty feet and 
more in lenc^th needing much room to swish around in. 

It would also be interesting to know how Noah corralled 
those animals of the world for their place of safety during 
the time of the Flood. Different countries have different 
kinds of cattle and beasts and creeping things all of which 
had to be gathered together for transportation. There were 
the great megatheriums of South America, the mastodontic 

165 



l66 EIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

animals of Asia and Africa, the huge pangolins of Java, the 
dinorus of New Zealand, and on down the list from elephants 
and lions and tigers and tapers to rabbits and rats and until 
one tires out naming them. An Ark to be sufficiently large 
to accommodate so many animals would have to be about the 
size of the Holy Land itself. All things considered an ark 
stretching from the snow capped Hermon on the North to 
the plains of Esdraelon on the South, and from the plateau 
of Moab and the mountains of Gilead on the East to the sea 
on the West built of wood and iron many stories high would 
have been, we think, about the right size for Noah's pur- 
poses. But for the translators of our Bible to cram all those 
animals into a little ark of gopher wood not many times 
bigger than the Black Hole of Calcutta there to keep and 
feed them for nearly a whole year does seem preposterous. 



CHAPTER VII 

REJECTION OF MOSAISM. 

The science of protology first interested me about a 
quarter of a century ago. In 1886, I took up my residence in 
New York City where I formed the acquaintance of Genera) 
Thomas A. Davies, who had written a book on the origin of 
the races of man. I saw much of him before his death in 
1898. From him, I got my inspiration and where he left off 
in that work, there I began. As to the days of creation being 
solar ones, the General was mistaken, but his interpretation 
of "Adam" and "Ha Adam" is correct. Not being a Hebrew 
scholar myself, I freely consulted biblicists who were, and 
got the Ha Adam question settled to my satisfaction. The 
kind and courteous rector of St. Ann's Church, Brooklyn, 
gave me one of my first interviews. He and others found 
that the Hebrew Bible accorded with the views of the author 
of "Am I a Jew or a Gentile," and that was assurance to me. 

I did not always have such encouraging interviews, but 
during leisure times, I pursued my work along those lines, 
reading everything in the meantime, published on the subject, 
besides gaining information and not a little experience. I 
became amazed at the many things German philosophers 
knew that were not so. The school of philologists, in par- 
ticular, supplied a lot of interesting reading, when basing the 
theory of unity on supposition merely. 

Next to Sir William Jones, the greatest scholar England 
ever produced, comes Baron Bunsen, Max Muller and 
Martin Haug, Germany's greatest philogists, who based 
their support of the unit theory principally on supposition. 

167 



l68 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

All of them having nothing but supposition to go on, were 
continually affirming the very things they were always 
denying. 

Their works on philology and the history of language 
have awakened a taste for philosophical inquiry into all 
forms of speech : Aryan, Hebrew and Turanian, but not- 
withstanding with all their learning, they were not able to 
make the one parentage theory agree with science and not 
destroy the Mosaic record as written in Hebrew. They all 
agree with the Bible as translated, but not with the original 
Hebrew text, which is in discord with the unit theory. Ob- 
sessed with that false theory, those professors from the Ger- 
man Universities have done much by their poisonous propa- 
gandas in shaping the scholarship of the whole world to this 
day. I was told just recently by one of our Presbyterian min- 
isters that the days of the patriarchs before Noah's Flood 
were long periods of time. Fifty years ago that doctrine would 
have been pronounced a strange one. That the days of Adam, 
and Seth and Enos, were not like those of Abraham, or 
Moses, or John Brown, would have been considered the 
product of a visionary brain. The idea had its source, we 
think, where plans were forged to make this present age one 
of doubt and unbelief. If we examine the theory as to its 
purpose, we will find its object was the destruction of the Old 
Testament Scriptures. It aimed its shaft at the foundation 
stone laid by Moses, whose Palestine Cradle-bed was a crea- 
tion only for Jews, not for Gentiles, as wrongly translated. 

The original Hebrew record makes Adam and Eve pro- 
genitors of the Hebrew race only, and not those of the whole 
world as the unit theory has it. The Aryan and Turanian 
races came out of their own respective cradle-beds. They 



REJECTION OF MOSAISM 169 

came many centuries before Adam and Eve delved in the 
Garden of Eden, but the truth respecting those earher races 
was to be vitiated so that there could be but one parent head 
for both Jew and Gentiles. Hence, it came to pass when the 
translators of King James' Bible met in 1611, the imps of 
Satan met in conference also, but monogenists gained the 
day. Afterwards it was perceived that science did not make 
Adam and Eve the parent heads of all the races of the whole 
world. Then they said, Moses was wrong. Hence the conflict 
between Higher Criticism and the advocates of the authen- 
ticity of Old Testament Scriptures. 

After the long barrows of England and the row graves 
of Germany revealed the remains of human beings, who 
must have lived on this earth forty times farther back than 
the time of Adam and Eve, then monogenists sought strange 
devices. Infidels said the Mosaic record was false. Ingersol 
wrote his work on "The Mistakes of Moses." Believers 
generally patched up a theory on a false science, none of 
them apprehending the Biblical mistake of the one parentage 
theory at all. Their eyes were blinded. The following shows 
one way Adam and Eve was made to fatherhood both Jew 
and Gentile. 

In the July number of the Princeton Review for the 
year of 1870, explanations are given by Alexander 
McWhorter, how Adam and Eve of the Palestine era became 
the progenitors of the Gentile races also of the Old Stone 
Ages of Man, who lived some 240,000 years before that time. 
The article in support of that theory outwit common sense 
by making those Hebrew parents the heads of a sinless race 
of people, before Eve had beguiled her lord with an apple. 
The chasm was bridged by a sort of cosmic run and jump on 



170 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

an up-to-date count from the Pleistocene Age down to the 
Palestine one by making the pre-Noachian days cosmic ones. 
Professor Poole of the British Museum held to a like theory. 
His work on "The Genesis of Earth and Man" accounts in 
that way for the races of "adam" and "the adam" as he 
frequently writes those names. After sin entered the world, 
the sinless race did not obtain, as in the case of Seth and his 
descendants, hence the new dispensation which followed. 

The wave of Darwinism reached high tide, with its 
evolutionary theories, when I began my work. They all con- 
tradicted the Mosaic record. In fact, they could not be other- 
wise. Colonel Ingersoll said, "The Egyptians lived before 
Adam and Eve delved in the Garden of Eden," It was a 
stronghold maintained against the creative fiats of which 
Moses spoke, hence, the Colonel said Moses was mistaken. 

During those days when Moses became known as a past 
master of big mistakes and young theologians had gone daft 
on Darwin this present age of doubt and unbelief became 
affirmed in agnosticism and infidelity. It caused me to 
wonder why it was the Church did not expose the false 
translation of the Genesis account of Man, as that of itself 
would have destroyed the evolutionary theory. The answer 
to that cjuestion from the Editor of the New York Christian 
Advocate made me a little skeptical. "Now, while church 
work is in the ascendancy," came the reply, "and all financial 
obligations are being religiously and cheerfully met, it wouW 
be unwise for the ministry to meddle with that subject at 
this time." It seemed to me that if the Church cared less for 
Churchianity and more for the truth of the Old Hebraic 
record the Old Testament Scriptures would not now be so 
completely under the ban of unbelief and infidelity. 



REJECTION OF MOSAISM I^I 

But to come more directly to the subject under consid- 
eration. 

Some years ago, while in Grand Forks, North Dakota, I 
attended a very interesting series of lectures delivered by 
Dr. Rogers of Drew Theological Seminary, and on that 
occasion the speaker in answer to one of my questions, said : 
"Although existing races of men differ in many respects, 
as in color, hair, shape of the skull, proportions of the body, 
etc., yet, if the whole organization is taken into consider- 
ation, they are found to resemble each other in many 
respects. Darwin has brought ethnologists to believe that 
there are not many races, but all the families of the earth 
belong to one race." 

And in convincing ethnologists Darwin convinced many 
unthinking people that Moses was a false prophet. 

Darwin was a great scholar, but malign influences made 
a monist of him. Monism is the foundation stone of mono- 
gentism. The two are one of a kind. The only difference is 
that the monad for the monogentist, is a man. 

After the morning stars sang together, the break of the 
day had not passed away when God said: "Behold I have 
given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of 
all the earth, and every tree which is the fruit of the tree 
yielding seed, to you it is given for food." 

This salutation was for everybody of every country on 
the face OF ALL THE EARTH. The Chinaman was to 
have his rice fields, the Equatorialite his orange groves, and 
everybody else, in his respective latitudes, was to have the 
herb and the fruit of the tree for meat, the Greenlander 
being supplied with more seal than pulse for his table. 

Now, comes the monist denying the words of Moses, 
saying something about the evolution of man, and some 



172 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Other things. Moses wrote about what God had created — not 
evolved. It was kind after kind. But scientists of the Dar- 
winian school, finding the same species of plants on both 
sides of the Atlantic in both North America and in the con- 
tinents of Europe, Africa and Asia, accounted for their 
presence in those parts of the earth in another way. The 
start was first made from a cell at the North Pole in the 
Miocene Age during that long Aeonian summer, when plant 
life was very abundant in those regions, after which winds 
and waves, drift periods and other physical influence did the 
work of distribution. As the scientist would say, this work 
was done when those monoecious varieties belonging to the 
schnocystic species of the cucurbitaceae class, were carried 
over the Southern continents, but which Moses would speak 
of as ''kind after kind," merely. 

The same principle which started life from some one 
cell, finally evolved man. The first man according to 
Darwin came out of the equatorial regions of darkest Africa, 
where sunshine and vegetation in abundance needed no 
clothing nor food for the race. Here is the country Poole 
also discovered as the birth place for those Negroids which 
some other scientists have characterized as Hammidic. 

CRADLE-BEDS. 

Biblical chronology locates the Palestine Cradle-Bed in 
the Garden of Eden about 4004 B. C, and an abundance of 
proof satisfactory to the believer verifies that statement. 
Contrary-wise, the theorist, who opposes the authenticity of 
the Old Testament Scriptures, questions both the time and 
the location of that bed for the human race. The Darwinian 
School in toto are agreed that Moses was wrong, but no two 
of them are agreed among themselves as to which is right. 



REJECTION OF MOSAISM 1 73 

Ex-President Warren located the first cradle-bed at the 
North Pole, where the Pithecanthropus — that Ape man — 
flourished in the Miocene Age about 500,000 years ago. 
Bunsen, who was more moderate, antedates The Adam of 
the Palestine cradle-bed only about 20,000 years ago. Fol 
lowing the discoveries of Anquetil du Perron, who deciph- 
ered the Zend language, and finding that Zoroaster was the 
ancestor of those ancient Persians of the Neolithic Ages, 
Bunsen and Haugh located the first cradle-bed in Siberia, 
while Dr. Taylor, guided somewhat by Sir William Jones' 
discovery of the Sanskrit language, makes the progenitors 
of the Aryan family indigenous with the soil of northern 
Europe in Neolithic times. Haeckel, whose biogenitic process 
found the original monad of all things created from a bug to 
a man, located the first cradle-bed on an island in mid-ocean; 
but Muller, who says it would take a heathen nation a 
100,000 years to evolve the verb, to be, found his ancestral 
beginnings in the beautiful land of the golden nowhere, not 
very long after time on this earth first began, we would 
suppose. 

Thus, we could provise some cradle-beds ourselves. Old 
Kankake, the god for the Dakota tribes, whose reverence for 
the medicine bag of the bones of the mastodon in the Old 
Stone Age of Man, would suggest Fort Ancient, Ohio, as 
the locality for that bed, because the remains of that animal 
are found in that place. And there is old Neter, one of the 
oldest of the Egyptian gods belonging to the Old Stone Age 
of Man, and for aught we know his body now lies under the 
bed of the Nile river, where others of his day and age are 
also to be found, but his stone image can be seen in the 
British Museum. But we desist. There are cradle-beds to be 
found like unto the above and without number. 



CHAPTER VIII 

HIGHER CRITICISM 

That false theory so often spoken of before, has caused 
a great falling away in the Church. It paved the way for 
Higher Criticism, and that was bad. Based on an acceptable 
Biblical mistranslation, and a very popular one besides, it 
gave the Muller-Bunsen philological fraternity, and a lot of 
other philosophers of that school, an open opportunity to 
discredit the writings of Moses. As a natural consequence, 
also, a withering influence emanating from infidels and 
jignostics of the Tom Paine-Colonel IngersoU type followed. 
Taken altogether, it all resulted in relegating the Bible to 
regions where some people believe fables only come from. 

Th Genesis account of man, as it now stands, clashing 
also as it does with science, has forced not a few believers 
of the Bible into some very compromising situations. They 
would have no quarrel with Holy Writ, but can't help 
themselves. It is a conflict that can only be fought to a 
successful finish, in support of the authenticity of the Old 
Testament Scriptures, by defending the Bible against unbe- 
lievers on the one hand and stoutly against that false science 
professed by believers on the other .To do that, discredits 
belief in that false theory of course. The ludicrous attempt 
by Sir Charles Lyell, the geologist, to re-people the earth 
after Noah's flood, by his three sons, illustrates the falsity of 
that theory very well. 

Not less foolish have been a few eminent philologists 
when trying to prove that all the families of the world came 
from one race, and Darwin was one of them. The theory 

174 



HIGHER CRITICISM 175 

would be true if man were only one of the varieties of cows 
and canary birds, and as that false science would almost 
have us believe, but Broca, the founder of comparative 
anatomy, has shown the contrary to be the fact. Dr. Taylor's 
work on the history of the Aryans shall be noticed in this 
connection. 

Dr. Taylor speaks in derision of Canon Cook and others 
who hold to the correctness of the Genesis account of man. 
Having found people who lived in the Old Stone Age of 
Man, some two hundred and forty thousand years ago, he 
jumps to the conclusion that the Hebrew race, with its 
Mosaic cradle-bed of 6,000 years ago only, is all wrong. And 
having also found through the discoveries of Professors 
Petrie and Hilprecht and other antiquarians that people 
lived before Adam delved and Eve span, finds it necessary 
to fatherhood all the families of the earth from one and the 
same paternal ancestor. 

There was that long-headed prognathous dolichocep- 
halic skull-head of the Mammoth Age, which is, as Broca 
says, as persistent among the heathen nations of today as it 
was in the cave man. Then 160,000 years later came the 
broad-headed brachycephalic skull of the Celt, and finally 
the round head of the Jew of the Palestine era, none of them 
any more different then, than a Jew is from a Malay or a 
Negro now. According to Dr. Taylor, therefore, the 
ancestor of those Neolithic races of Northern Europe was 
the father progenitor also of all races from the Palaeolithic 
Age down to the present one, which clashes with the 
teachings of the Hand Book of Nature as well as with those 
of the old Hebrew Bible. 

As no solution of that troublesome question, from a 



176 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

scientific point of view, can be obtained, which will not clash 
with the Genesis account of man, as it now stands, not a few 
writers of reputed authority have been content not to speak 
on that subject at all. Professor James Freeman Clarke's 
Ten Great Religions is only one of many such works. He 
gives facts discovered by the antiquarian, leaving his silent 
conclusions at liberty to verify those of Ingersoll's and all 
infidels who disbelieve the Mosaic record. Professor Max 
Muller, gives encouragement to the skeptic by a foolish 
attempt to support a scientific fact by a supposition in 
support of that false theory. He says, for example, a Malay 
cannot be derived from a Negro, nor a Negro from a Malay, 
but that we may conceive how they both proceeded from the 
same channel. He further says, when speaking of the origin 
of languages, that the Hebrew cannot be derived from the 
Sanskrit, nor the Sanskrit from the Hebrew, basing his 
conclusion on the grammatical impossibility of such a thing, 
and then comes to the aid of his theory by an imaginative 
conception based on a supposition again. Professor Sayce, 
the assyriologist, proves the plural origin of the races by a 
similar statement. He says there is an impassable chasm 
between Mosaism and polytheism, a fact in itself, which 
would prove that there is not a common source for each of 
the many religions of the world. 

Sir William Jones and Anquetil du Perron, two distin- 
guished philologists, have given ample proof of the pre- 
Edemic existence of the Sanskrit and Zeud languages. From 
Sir William we learn, that the Sanskrit tongue was in general 
use by our ancient Aryan ancestors on the plains of Asia 
Minor at the time of Adam and Eve, and that it did not be- 
come a dead language until about five hundred years before 



HIGHER CRITICISM 1^7 

Christ. Du Perron's history of the Zeud language associates 
that tongue with Zoroastrianism long before the COLD ICE 
WAVE drove those ancient Iranians southward in order to 
find shelter from the cold winds of northern regions in the 
time of the Pliocene Age. Their rig-vedas were in process of 
formation while on the way to the New Iran (Persia) and it 
is altogether probable that from some of those tribes Cain 
got his wife. It is a probable supposition at least, that those 
people aided Cain in the building of the city he named after 
his firstborn son, Enoch. They afterwards built the 
beautiful Persepolis, the residence palace occupied by King 
Ahasueras and Queen Esther, which for artistic grandeur 
shows that the Zoroastrians became a distinguished race in 
the earlier periods of the world's history. From those people 
came the Three Wise Men from the East, who, guided by 
the Star of Bethlehem, wended their way to Jerusalem to 
worship Jesus, born in a manger, the Savior of the world. It 
is certainly true that Zoroastrianism took the hand of 
Mosaism along the line of dualistic forces of good and evil ; 
for angels were before that time, but devils there were not : 
The German Superman and the Higher Critics came 
from the same fountain source. Both types originated from 
the cesspool of unbelief. We are speaking of those antisup- 
ernaturalists, who have no faith in the Bible as the Word of 
God, and who believe there is no need of a personal revela- 
tion from Christ's God to a dying world. That poisonous 
propaganda took its origin from the lie told to Eve in the 
Garden of Eden. That lie not only budded and bloomed, when 
coming down through the ages in support of autocracy, but, 
abiding its time, it reappeared in support of spiritual wicked- 
ness in high places, during these last times to overrule 



1/8 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

CHURCH affairs. The best of men and the highest 
scholarship in German universities came under the decep- 
tive influence of that poisonous propaganda. 

Among those deluded ones was Eichhorn, the reputed 
father of Higher Criticism. He was a professor of Oriental 
Philosophy in the University at Gottingen, and his influence 
against the Bible, as a supernatural revelation, was very 
great. His work on the Introduction of the Old Testament, 
published in 1870, the very year passive obedience began its 
resistance to autocratic authority, is a significant fact. Its 
significance is in connection with the change of the Ages at 
that time. 

Following Eichhorn came a host of other German phil- 
osophers, who likewise doubted the Birth of Christ, born of 
the Virgin Mary, conceived by the Holy Ghost. 



CHAPTER IX 

THE RELIGIOUS BIRTH OF THE LATE WAR. 

"Holy men of old spake as the Holy Ghost gave them 
utterance," Peter said ; but those German critics were moved 
by a different spirit. It was an animus that forced con- 
clusions for the destruction of the authenticity of the Old 
Testament Scriptures, and not one in support of them. From 
the time of Eichhorn, therefore, the truth as voiced by Holy 
Writ, has been questioned. As a declared purpose, the 
Mosaic record became the object of attack. Christ said, "If 
3'e had believed Moses, ye would have believed Me, for Moses 
v/rote of Me." But Moses was not to be believed. Neither is 
Christ to be beHeved as a result of unbelief in Moses. 

Following Eichhorn came Spinoza, Descartes Hobbes and 
other famous writers of that school. De Witte, Professor of 
Philosophy and Theology at Hidelberg, published a work 
instilling the same general principles as Eichhorn. His views 
as to the inspiration of the Bible were decidedly infidel. 
Julius Wellhausen, who at one time was a theological 
professor in Germany, published a work in 1878, which also 
opposed the supernatural in Revelation, and this list could 
be continued on down to Dr. Briggs, Professor of Theology 
at one time in the Union Theological Seminary at New York, 
who also held to some of those German theories. 

Taking into consideration the condition of the powers of 
darkness at the time of the change of the old regime to the 
new in 1870, we find no recourse was left for the overthrow 
of the law and order of righteousness except what could be 
brought about by a loss of faith in the God of our Bible. But 

179 



l8o BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

it seems almost impossible, however, to convince some people 
that Satan has had much to do with great schemes of a 
national character, spiritually as well as politically, so 
succesfully has he shifted responsibilities upon human 
shoulders ; nevertheless, the underlying causes which have 
led to this present turmoil about the authenticity of the Old 
Testament Scriptures, can be traced back to their Satanic 
stronghold in the year 1611, when they were originated to 
sidetrack the church, during this present contest now going 
on between belief and unbelief. Only spiritual wickedness in 
high places could have apprehended the magnitude of that 
conflict necessary to break down the Mosaic foundation upon 
which Christianity has been built. It was a stronghold which 
the words of Christ, himself, had strengthened by saying, 
"All things written in the law of Moses and in the prophets 
and in the Psalms concerning Me must be fulfilled." John 
5-46. And Peter said, "Christ was a prophet like unto 
Moses," Acts 3-22. To vitiate the teachings of Moses, there- 
fore, was to destroy faith in Christ. It was the same old 
fight of old as St. Paul had when defending himself before 
King Agrippa concerning the things Moses had taught about 
Jesus of Nazareth. The destruction of faith in Christ there- 
fore, depended primarily on the destruction, first, of what 
Moses wrote. 

THE PRESENT AGE ONE OF DOUBT AND UNBELIEF. 

Ever since Michael and his angels fought, and Moses 
and his angels fought over the body — the law — of Moses, the 
words of Moses have been challenged. As Moses wrote the 
words of God, word for word, as God told him face to face 
to write, he wrote not of himself but whatsoever things he 



RELIGIOUS BIRTH OF THE LATE WAR l8l 

heard, that he wrote. So did the Lord's Christ. He knew the 
deep things of God and revealed them unto us, I Cor. 
II io:ii. He spake not his own words but the words which 
the Father gave Him to speak. "The Father which sent Me. 
He hath given Me a commandment what I should say and 
what I should speak even as the Father said unto Me, so I 
speak," John 12:49. 

As Christ was a prophet like unto Moses, (Acts 3-22) 
the words spoken by them make the Bible an inspired book. 
The Bible does not merely contain the Words of God; it is 
the Word of God. It is a revelation of God from Genesis to 
Revelation. "And God said," is a term frequently used by 
Moses. No man uninspired could have written that first 
chapter of Genesis, even. As a history of Creative fiats 
aeons of ages before Moses was born, it is not only a cyclo- 
pedia in itself, but a history of the deep things of God, hidden 
from the conceptions of things human. 

Now the divinity of Christ and His Resurrection from 
the dead were no more questioned during that uproarious 
time when St. Paul was defending himself before King 
Agrippa for things Moses said about Christ (Acts 26:22-23) 
than they were in 1892 when that great assault in Germany 
was made against the Virgin Birth of Christ. What Moses 
wrote, (which Christ said must be fulfilled) of necessity was 
condemned by those German critics as false. Miriam was 
stricken with leprosy, because of her criticism of Moses. 
Ex. 33:11, but those German critics of the only prophet, to 
whom Jehovah spake face to face, have labored to bring upon 
all the people of this present Age, a spiritual blindness which 
assisted in the destruction of millions of people during this 
last war. Herein is found the first cause that led to the 
origin of the war. 



l82 BIKTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

The viciousness of that blow against the Holy Ghost as 
the third person of the Godhead, was the principal cause of 
that falling away from the true church, so noticeable during 
these past fifty years. It caused a general defection not only 
in Germany but throughout the whole Aryan world. In 
America, the voice of apostacy has often been heard. In 
foreign lands, notes of discontent, tinged with socialism and 
anarchy, so poisoned the body politics, bolshevism came as a 
result. It aided in the accouchment of the German Super- 
man, and as an evil spirit, it has not been unfriendly to 
profiteering by many thousands of people, whose religion is 
the gold dollar, government or no government. 

The present degeneracy in matters religious is traceable 
to unbelief in the Mosaic basis of a Christian civilization. A 
little penance may have been made, but no deep repentance 
has come forth to assuage the grief of the Holy Spirit, which 
in some cases has been driven from the churches. Money 
making has been more commercialized than sanctified. To 
wrestle at the altar rail, as Jacob wrestled with the angels, is 
no longer practiced as in the days of Francis Ashbury; and 
the fathers of Methodism. Instead of the shout of victory 
over sin, there comes instead the Hip! Hurrah! of Sunday 
games and out door sports of life. We boast of our advanced 
progress in life, but religiously we even fall short of some of 
the heathen nations of the prehistoric word. Zoroastrianism 
gave Mosaism its basis for a dualistic belief, while Confuc- 
ionism gave half the world a safer citizenship than now rocks 
this present age of doubt and unbelief. Confucius declared 
that when fifteen years of age he longed for wisdom. "At 
thirty my mind was fixed in pursuit of it. At forty, I saw 
clearly certain principles. At fifty, I understood the rule of 



RELIGIOUS BIRTH OF THE LATE WAR 183 

lieaven. At sixty, everything I heard, I easily understood. At 
seventy, the desires of my heart no longer transgressed the 
law." Can Mosaism, say much more than that? 

In contrast to that experience I heard a preacher a 
couple of years ago, call St. Peter a bonehead. Then from a 
text of his own composition, about a flower which bore only 
five petals before Luther Burbank had given it a growth of 
forty-five, he attempted the solution of final religious 
authority for the life of the every-day Christian. Some of the 
books of Moses of course come in for criticism, but withal he 
came about as near finding the key wanted as Dr. DuBois 
did when seeking the connecting link between man and his 
supposed elder brother, the Pithecanthropus of the monkey 
tribe. Resulting from that religious defection primarily, has 
come this present age of evil and good, righteousness and un- 
righteousness, sordid notions and supernal desires with true 
faith and apostacy in mortal combat; and such as no other 
age has ever witnessed. Only through prophecy, can this 
fearful condition be understood. From that viewpoint, we 
catch a glimpse of those causes, religiously false, which led 
to this war, and to its horrible holocaust of burning and 
pillaging, massacreing of women and children and of other 
agencies which worked death and destruction to both body 
and soul; and all of which, were they not born of an evil 
spirit? 



CHAPTER X 

LEAGUE OF NATIONS IN PROCESS OF FORMATION. 

We know not when Christ will come again, Acts III 
19:23; but prophecies are fulfilling very fast for the coming 
of universal peace. Events of an international significance 
come and go in accordance with the Divine Plan of the Ages, 
whether we believe in prophecy or not. The sure word of 
prophecy tells us war will soon be no more. Of that we are 
certain. 

Evil agencies often obtain and sin for a time prevails, 
but God always bares his arm finally. That has been the way 
after the disobedience of Jews and Gentiles both. The Jews 
not content with the prosperous reign of order and right- 
eousness under the rule of the cycles for a period of 969 
years, held their last Jubilee in 625 B. C, and then God visited 
them with a servitude in cruel bondage for 2,500 years, and 
followed that with a sore travail of a march Zionward of 
fifty years more, the sojourn not quite complete yet. With 
Canaan now in sight, they ought to be thankful. 

In the meantime, the Gentiles pursued their disobedient 
way also down through the Ages for 2,520 years, then went 
William the Last, much to the joy of the whole world. With 
the seventieth Jubilee now in sight, the whole world ought to 
rejoice. 

THE PRESENT AGE OF MODERN DEMOCRACY. 
1875-I925. 

After the destruction of Gentile dominion in 19 15, the 
Lord revealed his hand to save the world from apostacy. 
War came. It had been a contest between light and darkness 

184 



IN PROCESS OF FORMATION 185 

ever since the Jews began their march homeward about fifty 
years ago, and now like every other movement for the return 
of disobedient people into the ways of truth and right living, 
the survival of the weakest, not the fittest, had to be ac- 
complished. And the Omnipotent God only was able for that 
work. Under His guiding hand many evil influences were 
destroyed. But the work had to come through a clearing 
house of blood. War was the way God's judgment often 
times came. This time War had a duration of fifty-one 
months at a cost of two hundred billions of dollars, with a 
loss of seven millions of lives, and with forty millions more 
maimed for the remainder of their days. One million nine 
hundred thousand sons of France lie under the sod, as only 
one of many testimonies of the way Gentile dominion was 
destroyed, the Divine Right of Kings brought to its end, and 
the world made safe for democracy. That was the first result 
of the greatest missionary movement ever known. 

THE, TWO PROPHETS. 

Now came the voice of prophecy proclaiming peace to a 
sorrowing world. It was a joyful cry from Isaiah and Micah 
in one voice saying: "Come and let us go up to the mountain 
of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will 
teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths for the law 
shall go forth of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jer- 
usalem." 

"And he shall judge many people and rebuke strong 
nations afar off. And they shall beat their swords into plow- 
shares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not 
lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they learn war 
any more." Isa. II 3:4; Micah IV 2:3. 



1 86 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Apropos to that proclamation came the act of the United 
States Senate in 1816, which authorized the President to 
convene the nations of the world for the purpose of pre- 
venting war in the future. It was the sense of that enactment 
that war could be stopped by establishing a code of inter- 
national law, by reducing armaments and organizing a tri- 
bunal, which would give all the world a court of justice. A 
World Congress only could do that. 

THE MORAL COMPELLING FORCE. 

Unfortunately, the Paris Peace Conference adopted the 
opposite course. The work of an alliance of five powers, at 
most, has already been discredited. But that of a Congress of 
Nations would not have been questioned. A few men around 
a peace table, hobble-skirted to several secret treaties, had 
not the liberty needed for doing the work wanted by the 
whole world. As it was, they barely escaped from sinister 
motives impugned to them. After having violated every right 
China had and vindicated every wrong Japan wanted done, 
they barely escaped the severest criticism. 

During the past one hundred and twenty-five years, one 
hundred treaties have been made and broken like the one 
Belgium had, which was broken by Germany. Only the im- 
pelling force of moral power, with the physical force of the 
United States back of it prevented the Holy Alliance from 
trespassing upon the rights of American republics, when the 
Monroe Doctrine without the need of any treaty or legis- 
lation, came into existence in 1823. It prevented Napoleon 
III from seating a monarch on a Mexican throne, and 
enabled President Cleveland, by word of mouth, to keep 
England from meddling in our American affairs, during the 



IN PROCESS OF FORMATION 1 8/ 

time of his presidency. So should a concensus of opinion from 
the representatives of the thirty-two alHed countries, at the 
Paris Peace Conference, have guaranteed to all disputants 
on that question, the efficacy of the Monroe Doctrine as a 
world affair, the same as regionally so for the United States. 

As explained by President Wilson to the Foreign Rela- 
tions Committee, the impelling power of Article X was its 
moral, not its legal obligations. Therein lies our hope. For 
that reason, the call from the two prophets will obtain, and 
because the whole world wants peace, the world will have it. 
So let the Senate ratify, that a future Congress may take up 
the work of reconstruction and go on with it, at once. 

The following sketch of the Paris Peace Convention is 
taken from the Charleston Gazette : 

HISTORY OF VERSAILLES TREATY. 

'The Peace Treaty of Versailles is the fruit of about five 
months of conferences in which delegations from thirty-two 
Allied countries and Germany participated. The five leading 
nations — the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and 
Japan — were represented in the peace conference at Paris by 
five delegates each, while the delegations of other nations and 
British dominions were composed of from one to three men. 

"The representatives of the United States were President 
Wilson, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Henry White, 
formerly American ambassador at Rome and Paris, Colonel 
Edward M. House and General Tasker H. Bliss. 

"George Clemenceau, premier of France, was chairman 
of the Peace Conference. 

"At first a Supreme Council or a Council of Ten was 
organized so as to include two representatives from Great 



l88 B.TRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Britain, France, the United States, Italy and Japan. Subse- 
quently this council was divided in two parts — a Council of 
Four, composed of President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd 
George, Clemenceau and Orlando, and a Council of Foreign 
Ministers. 

COUNCIL CONVENED JANUARY l8. 

"The Conference of the Allied Delegations convened 
officially on January i8 to draw up the terms to be submitted 
when completed to the German delegation. President Wilson 
had arrived in France on December 13, and had visited 
England, Italy and parts of France. 

"One of the first acts of the conference was to send a 
proposal to all Russian factions to meet on the Prince's 
Islands to endeavor to compose the Russian internal situation 
but this plan was rejected by the Russians. Various factions 
which were disputing over territory in different sections of 
Europe were directed by the Peace Conference to discontinue 
their conflicts. 

"The first step toward the actual drafting of the treaty 
occurred on January 24, when the conference agreed to the 
plan for organization of a League of Nations, and a com- 
mittee was appointed to draw up a covenant. By January 30, 
the conference had adopted the plan of governing colonies 
and backward nations through mandatories issued to various 
nations, subject to the direction and approval of the League 
of Nations. 

The covenant of the League of Nations was completed 
on February 14. On the following day President Wilson left 
France for the United States. He returned to France, arriv- 
ing there March 13. In his absence the Council of Ten had 



IN PROCESS OF FORMATION 1 89 

continued its work despite an attempt to assassinate Premier 
Clemenceau. 

TREATY WITH AUSTRIA. 

A report of the International Labor Legislation Com- 
mittee was adopted April 1 1. Reparation demands to be made 
on Germany were approved April 14, and the Germans were 
invited on April 16 to send their delegation to Versailles to 
receive the treaty. 

The Peace Conference next considered the treaty with 
Austria. The Italian delegation insisted upon obtaining 
control of the formerly Austrian city of Fiume, but on April 
23, President Wilson gave out a statement that Fiume could 
not be given to Italy. On the next day Premier Orlando 
returned to Rome, and for more than a week thereafter the 
Italian delegates were absent, but returned on May 7, in time 
to participate in the conference with the German delegates. 

A revised covenant of the League of Nations intended 
to conform in respect to the Monroe Doctrine to objection 
raised in America, was adopted by the Peace Conference on 
April 28. Geneva was selected as the seat of the league. 

Shantung was disposed of on April 30, when the Council 
of Three voted to turn it over to the Japanese on assurances 
that it would be given later to the Chinese. 

The Germans, headed by Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, 
arrived in Versailles and presented their credentials to the 
Allied delegates on May i. 

TREATY PRESENTED MAY 7. 

The Peace Treaty was presented to the Germans at 
Versailles on May 7, the anniversary of the sinking of the 



190 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Lusitania, and an official summary of the treaty was made 
public that day. It was also announced that the United States 
and Great Britain had pledged aid to France against possible 
future German aggression. The manner in which the 
Germans received the treaty was described as insolent. 
Numerous German leaders declared they would not sign it, 
and a week of mourning was decreed by the German govern - 
ment, but the decree was virtually unheeded. 

Theraf ter the German delegates submitted various notes 
to the Council of Four asking for concessions or criticising 
the terms proposed in the treaty as submitted to them. On 
May 16, it was announced that the German treaty would 
become effective when ratified by Germany and three of the 
Allied or Associated Powers. 

The German reply to the first form of the Peace Treaty 
was presented to the Allied delegates on May 28, and this was 
followed by several German counter-proposals. 

Meanwhile the Austrian delegates had arrived at St. 
Germain and on June 2, the terms of the Peace Treaty with 
Austria as drawn by the Allies was submitted to them. 

On the 23d of June Germany agreed to sign the treaty, 
which she did on the 28th of June; and the agreement 
between the United States, Belgium, the British Empire and 
France, of the one part, and Germany of the other part, with 
regard to the military occupation of the territories of the 
Rhine, also signed at Versailles on the 28th of June. 

It will be seen from the above organization that a great 
amount of work was done during the five months the Conven- 
tion was working out those momentous problems now sub- 
mitted to the United States Senate. We are safe also in 
saying not all their work should come to naught. We further 



IN PROCESS OF FORMATION I9I 

declare that faulty as it is, the Senate should ratify, notwith- 
standing, the sooner the treaty is ratified, the sooner war will 
come. Yet, the Senate, we say, should ratify. 

There can be no way to adjust the Shantung question, or 
the Adriatic and other disputes unless an adjustment by a 
world power yet to come, is made. Nothing less than a com- 
pelling moral influence will settle such disputes and keep the 
peace. A concensus of public opinion from every quarter of 
the globe if made to bear, in opposition to sinister aims, will 
effect results required, and nothing else will. 

In the meantime, we should remember that kind provi- 
dence has always had something to do in such matters, and if 
the Lord is left alone, he will, through his own agencies 
direct in the right way. To that end, Germany has already 
been chastened and rebuked, and through influences exerted 
by her own good citizensihp — men and noble women both — 
will do her part, if not pressed too hard by revengeful 
measures by us. Other readjustments are slowly working out 
the great problem, through prohibition, a general revival of 
religion, universal suffrage — women as well as men — and 
with mandatories now ready to assist feeble nations who 
have fallen helplessly to earth. A restoration of all things 
needed, will certainly take place very soon. The wicked Turks 
and brutal Bulgars should have special care, while the 
helpless Balkan group and the Caucasian world including 
Armenia and a half-hundred different races, heretofore 
subject to outrages and massacres and too much overlordship, 
should be brought under the compelling influences of moral 
forces for good and saved for higher and nobler purposes in 
life. Republics can do it, if they will. 



192 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT. 

We are no prophets, nor do we care to share the reputa- 
tion of an alarmist, but if republics are not in danger, will 
our readers interpret the prophecy of Jeremiah, Chapter 30, 
and Verse 11. It has foretold the end of our government. 
Explain please. 

As a ship of state, the life of the American republic has 
been limited, the same as each of Daniel's four dynasties all 
of which, from Belshazzar to William II, went down by 
divine appointment, and at the time set for their destruction. 
Now comes the last of that series, not as a dynasty, but as a 
republic created for the destruction of dynasties. With its 
work done, must it go too ? 

"All's well," came from the "peep loft" of the Titanic 
before she went down, and a like cry came from those four 
dynasties, just before each of them went to destruction, and 
just as suddenly. As to republics, let us consider whether or 
not their lives are to cease to exist or to change to anothel 
form at the "tic of the toe," as others did. 



CHAPTER XI 

THE PEACE CONFERENCE AT PARIS. 

The Kaiser had a love for peace that was said to be 
notorious, and he still has it. Other members of his 
Bundesrath had like feelings somewhat notorious also. It 
became somewhat notorious finally by the way soldiers 
deserted their posts in the army. Before October i, 1918, 
when the submarine warfare was abandoned, Ludendorf 
himself had declared the war could not be won on the battle 
field. Then hopes were pinned on what Wilson might do. 
Those Fourteen Points were made use of to some consider- 
able extent. The Huns became diplomatic now and got in 
touch very soon with everything of value. They too wanted 
peace, and everything else they could get. With a feverish 
energy, while camouflaging with the Entente, they made 
way with immense spoils gathered from France, Belgium, 
Italy, Serbia and Russia getting ready for the next war as 
soon as possible. Louis Loucheur, the French Minister, 
informed his Senate that the value of the destroyed and 
stolen property in nothern France was 75,000,000 francs, 
and that it would require ten years and 40,000 cars to bring 
the plunder back. "What a time to sign an armistice" 
said Marshal Foch ! 

Now came the Peace Conference when camouflaging 
began in earnest. All told, Field Marshal Goltz has now 
ready for action, when needed, an army of 800,000 old sol- 
diers, and more coming. 

The next scene was on board the George Washington. 
President Wilson with the American delegates and their 

193 



194 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Staff of clerks and other aids — 1,300 all told — made up the 
ship's crew. Around the peace table at Paris there gathered 
representatives from Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan 
and the United States, all bound by secret treaties before 
made in the interest of their respective governments except 
President Wilson, and with self determination a-plenty, 
which became somewhat notorious also. Their troubles 
lasted five months with an extra bill of $750,000 added by 
the Hotel Crillon where they got board and bed, and good 
attention besides. 

Frank H. Simons, who watched the entire proceedings 
at Paris, in declaring that the league is purely a British in- 
vention, has said to all the world: 

"It is essential to face the fact so far as President 
Wilson and his European expedition are concerned, the 
President came here with no definite or clear or coherent 
programme for a League of Nations. In a very marked 
degree the President came empty-handed. In point of face, 
he had no scheme, and a situation approaching paralysis 
resulted during a certain period of time. 

"Thus the President's position in course of time devel- 
oped rather into an inactive attitude. So far from propos- 
ing, he remained silent. His real contribution, it would 
seem, was to veto at various points where suggestions con- 
flicted over-night with his principles as proclaimed in 
America. 

"After a certain length of time, however, it became 
clear that if real progress was to be made it would be neces- 
sary to cease discussion of abstract principles and get down 
to actual construction of machinery, and at this point the 
President was helpless, and his associates in the American 



PEACE CONFERENCE AT PARIS 195 

Commission were useless, and it fell to the British, logically 
and inevitably, to begin the task of constructing some 
framework, and this is what has been going on for the last 
three weeks." 

Out of that process verbal, came a treaty of peace, 
woefully entangled with a covenant called The League of 
Nations. Selfish interests interlocked with secret treaties 
produced a pact a World's Congress would have disowned. 
Hannis Taylor, former United States Minister to Spain and 
author of "International Public Law," says of it: 

ORIGIN OF THE LEAGUE. 

"The widely scattered and incoherent mass known as 
the British Empire, made up largely of oppressed peoples 
ripe for revolt, has for a long time been threatened with dis- 
integration. As the very life of the fabric depends upon the 
control of foreign trade, the startling inroads made by Ger- 
man competition in that field, prior to the present war, had 
become more than alarming. In order to meet such con- 
ditions, as early as 191 1, Dr. Timothy Ricards, a dis- 
tinguished Englishman, outlined this scheme of a 'League 
of Nations to Enforce Peace with Arms' as follows: 

" 'We are living in the days of anarchy. Unite the ten 
leading nations; let all their armaments be united into one 
to enforce the decrees of a Superior Court of the World. 
And since it will then be the refusal of recalcitran nations 
to accept arbitration that will make necessary the mainten- 
ance of any very large armaments by these united nations, 
let them protect themselves by levying discriminating tariff 
duties against the country that would perpetuate present 
conditions.' 



196 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

"On that purely British foundation Viscount Grey, the 
famous Enghsh diplomatist, built the more elaborate plan 
published on May 11, 1918, in a pamphlet entiled 'The 
League of Nations', in which the pending scheme was fully 
set forth in a tentative form. After that cunning device to 
hold together the British Empire and to promote its trade, 
through the agency of other nations, whose tariff systems 
were to be manipulated in its interests, had received its 
finishing touches from Lord Robert Cecil, it took its place 
in the pending peace treaty with a pompous preamble called 
a 'Covenant'. 

''trap" says watterson. 

"The false and absurd declaration in that covenant 
that this purely British device was constructed in order to 
promote internal co-operation and secure international 
peace and security by the acceptance of obligations not to 
resort to war' should deceive no one. Colonel \^^atterson 
expressed the whole truth briefly when he said in substance 
the so-caleld League of Nations is simply a 'trap,' designed 
exclusively by British statesmen, and baited with the word 
'Peace' in order to ensnare the American people. What 
makes that trap the more dangerous is the fact that some 
brilliant, but illusive rhetorician, has covered it all over with 
a veil into which he has "intertwined" all kinds of false and 
fantastic idealisms. 

"So completely has the unsuspecting soul of President 
Wilson been deceived by that veil that he has gone so far as 
to say that the making of the trap may be traced to a heav- 
enly source. His recent address in the Senate concluded 
vith this remarkable declaration: Tt has come about by no 



PEACE CONFERENCE AT PARIS 197 

plan of our conceiving, but by the hand of God, who led us 
into this way.' " 

WE RATIFY ROBBERY. 

And the most remarkable, the most indefensible fea- 
ture of this entire transaction is that, as a result of a war 
said to have been waged to make the world safe for democ- 
racy, we enforce the spoliation of the only Republic in the 
Orient, we ratify the previous robbery of a friendly people 
by the nation we went to war to overthrow for just such 
acts, and we turn the result of the larceny over to the most 
autocratic Government that now exists on earth, the coun- 
terpart of Germany in the east. 

In speaking of England's sea power Taylor says again: 

BRITIAN's growing sea POWER. 

Let us not deceive ourselves as to what is ahead of us. 
The British Empire holds in its hands the surrendered 
German colonies, and the long-coveted Dardanelles, besides 
the Suez Canal, and a kind of over-lordship over our own 
Panama Canal, which can be defended only by sea power. 
When to all that is added the combined sea power of her 
Allies — France, Italy and Japan — she is not only the Mis- 
tress of the Seas but the Empress of the World in a way in 
which no world power has ever been since the fall of the 
Roman Empire. 

The newspapers report that the building of British 
dreadnaughts is now progressing more rapidly than ever 
before. With her hated commercial rival prostrated in the 
dust, with its great warships at the bottom of the sea. Great 
Britain has now no one in her way but ourselves. Our day 



198 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

will surely come the moment that our growing merchant ma- 
rine dares to conflict with her commercial interests on the 
high seas. 

After the first gun fires, Southern cotton, Montana 
copper and Western food supplies will appeal in vain to neu- 
trality laws which President Wilson has agreed to abolish 
absolutely. With starvation blockades in full force Bri- 
tannia will rule the waves, if the League of Nations is 
adopted, entirely unmolested for the first time by neutrality 
laws. Cicero made no mistake when he said "that he who 
gains the command of the sea must obtain supreme power." 

"In point of fact," says Frank H. Simons again, "the 
European powers never accepted the American proposals in 
the sense in which they were made. To the Germans those 
proposals held out a promise of a reduction of the penalties 
they had incurred. To the Allies, they meant little more 
than words of the precise sort, which had been uttered from 
the beginning of the struggle, namely; the defeat of Ger- 
many not absolutely at all to be applied against them. It 
was that interpretation which gave Wilson the welcome he 
received wherever he went, but now we all know those Four- 
teen Points never materialized into solid fact." 

"The English people," says Mr. Simons, "were in no 
mood to consent to the abolition of the regulation of that 
control of the sea which had been the basis of their indepen- 
dence and greateness for centuries. They had specifically 
excluded this point when called upon by the President to 
accept his whole scheme. The French people were in no 
mood nor was their government to consent to the reduction 
in the reparations to be demanded of Germany. * * * * 
The Italians had entered the war when they had received 



PEACE CONFERENCE AT PARIS 199 

from Great Britain, France and Russia specific promises 
enabling them to acquire territory which they had long 
looked upon as rightfully their own. So when the revulsion 
came, those millions of Italians who cheered Mr. Wilson In 
January, cursed him in April, while Germany reveled in the 
belief that President Wilson's desire to achieve a peace 
would reduce the just claims of France and Belgium against 
her, and deny the Poles their liberty, and thereby reinstate, 
to some extent, the old regime of Pan-Germanism." 

James E. Watson, United States Senator from Indiana, 
in speaking of the Shantung affairs and of the spoliation of 
China, the only republic in the Orient says: 

"the old savagery" 

As the result of our President's acts, Japan stands to- 
day between the Chinese Empire and one of its greatest 
provinces. She would not consent to become a member of 
the League until the other Powers had promised her Ger 
many's possessions in China, possessions to which, in ac- 
cordance with the high-sounding tenets of the "new order," 
Japan had no conceivable right. 

When we went to war our President proclaimed that 
diplomacy was to be lifted from the mire and placed upon a 
high plane of honesty and fair dealing; that national sel- 
fishness was to be supplanted by international altruism ; 
that the right of self-determination was to be established as 
the permanent policy of the future, and that the world should 
never know another Silesia, another Alsace-Lorraine. 

And yet, at the Peace Conference in the representatives 
of Japan there reappeared the "old order," the old intrigue, 
the old savagery that "might makes right." And they forced 



200 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

our President to abandon his high ideals, to turn his back 
upon his lofty principles, and to accept their savage code. 

Japan coerced him into that concession. Clenienceau 
and Lloyd-George felt bound by their terms of the old in- 
trigue that divided the loot before the victory was won, and 
Wilson yielded that Japan might sign. 

That country sold her signature for the liberties of 36,- 
000,000 of human beings, and Wilson, Lloyd-George and 
Clemenceau approved the bargain and ratified the sale. 

China presented to the peace conference a claim based 
only on justice, but with no power behind it. Japan pre- 
sented a case based only on power, but with no justice be- 
hind it. Japan and power won. China and justice lost. And 
the cause of democracy and the rule of the people in Asia 
were set back one hundred years. 

Russia Vv'as left out of all consideration in that Confer- 
ence. She lost out completely. Having met the brunt of the 
German shock, while the rest of the world got ready for the 
conflict, and beaten to her knees, was now cast aside as of 
no further use. For want of help, food and clothing, she 
was swallowed up by the Bolshevists. She had mobilized 
an army for the cause, out of which she lost 2,500,000 killed 
in action, and maimed for life in defending- a front of 3,500 
miles. Two millions of her soldiers were cast into prison, 
half of whom have died in prison, but no notice has been tak- 
en of her on that account. Her one million five hundred 
thousand now absolute invalids do not seem to be worthy of 
much mention in particular, by others when speaking so 
pathetically of the oppressed men and distressed women in 
this present political campaio;n. She took as prisoners 400,- 
000 Germans, 300,000 Hungarians, 300,000 Turks, and i,- 



PEACE CONFERENCE AT PARIS 20I 

000,000 Austrians, but when cornered by the Bolshevists, 
was refused aid by the Entente and left to perish. Her re- 
peated calls for help were ignored, while the price of rat-food 
for Petrograd's folks, remains about as it w^as at the first. 
Did the prophet mean us, when he said: "Cursed be he that 
doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he 
that keepeth back his sword from blood." Jer. 48-10. 

LEAGUE IN CLASH WITH POLITICS 

Fifty more reasons from fifty other statesmen might 
be given for the failure of the League of Nations, to bring 
heaven to earth at this time, but none of them as far as the 
writer understands the situation have apprehended the orig- 
inal cause for this awful splash that has been made in the 
mud since the war stopped nearly one year ago. As a mat- 
ter of fact, the League has worked to no one's advanta?;e. 
Zangwell has called it, "The League of Damnation." Le- 
nine, "A League to Loot," and a host of others have ex- 
pressed themselves in learned ways, mostly in unison with 
the "West Virginia News," that said the Allies baked a big 
pancake for the United States to make palatable by supply- 
incr the Karo. Yum ! Yum ! 

During all this time, the political brotherhood has kept 
up a lot of differences with some considerable success. Some 
of them have supported William C. Bullett's testimony be- 
fore the Committee on Foreign Relations, when he made 
Lansing, Bliss & Co. as good as say. The League of Na- 
tions is so useless if the Senate knew what it means, it would 
not be ratified; and Bullett was the man Wilson appointed 
Chief of the Bureau of Current Intelligence. Then there is 
another bunch of Democrats and Republicans, as good as 
say if there is no ratification by tomorrow, we will have the 



202 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Armageddon the day after. But in time the league will 
evolve of itself. 

There are some things, to which all disputants to this 
question may agree. First, that the cause of the great war 
originated along commercial lines. Germany wanted every 
thing from Hamburg to Bagdad, and England therefrom t(. 
Sunrise. That contest between those two great nations, 
w^hich had been going on as silently as sunbeams shine, in 
years past, made Von Bernhardi declare that in the next war 
Germany must crush France so she can not rise again. But 
England won, and the new war is nearly in sight, with Hin- 
denburg, Von Bernhardi & Co., saying: This time we 
wall win. 

The original cause which gave rise to former wars, is 
now being kept in cold storage against the time needed 
soon to come. It gave rise to the formation of the Triple Al 
liance and the Entente, and it is that same old Nude Woman 
Count Tolstoy saw flirting with nations of the earth for the 
world's trade, which brought on the great world's war, and 
which will now keep those four giant nations before men- 
tioned, in durance vile until 1925. 

So it came to pass that the Paris Peace Conference gave 
England what she wanted; France protection against ag- 
gressions from Germany; Italy rights to territory she has 
claimed for a long time; Japan Shantung to be paid for in 
fair promises; Roumania, the privilege of slicing up Hun- 
gary in any way she pleases; the Jugo-Slavs all claims to 
Fiume, if she can get them, and badly whipped Germany an 
opportunity to gather herself together through alliances wnth 
Russia and some of the Balkan States so as to keep the 
prophets' seething pot steaming away, until the Restoration 
takes place in 1925. 



CHAPTER XII 

THE NEW BIRTH FROM A MOSAIC POINT OF VIEW. 

Our present day laborer would be no better off if he 
received forty times the wages he does now, having forty 
times the cost of high Hving the hog drover got at forty cents 
a day and no dinner. In the days of the Judges, when Israel 
had only faith in God to live on, and no money at all to bother 
with, she fared better than the hog-drover, for the well-to-do 
then never allowed the poor to go without something to eat. 
Better still. In that age of the golden era, with seventh day 
rests, seventh year celebrations, with a twelve months' 
Jubilee every fifty years, a man was at least seven times 
better off than the working class is today. If that was what 
Isaiah, 1-26, meant by our return to those days, when we 
would have Judges as at the first and counselors as at the 
beginning, who could object to such a change for our re- 
publics, except the Strike Breakers' Union. 

If we were under the rule of the cycles now, profiteers 
would work for others as much as for themselves, while 
millionaires would go bankrupt getting more riches for other 
people, and then, too, there would be equality in the land 
Don't you think so? Then there would be no shipping over 
seas in triple-decked barges filled to guard rail, or boat loads 
of poorly, under-fed, stunted folk for the hire of the monop- 
olist. After the restoration of Israel takes place, there will be 
none of that villainous, odorous class again to ship. Under 
the moral, educational and spiritual direction of good man- 
datory work, there will no longer remain human beasts of 
burden with expressionless faces, mongoloid noses, buUet- 

203 



204 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

headed and simian furtiveness, qualities so desirable for 
satisfying- over-lordship now; for all will be changed. In 
those days, too, votes that can be bought now for a dollar 
apiece, will be a thing of the past. With educational equip- 
ment, no man will be without learning enough to discern 
between partizanship and patriotism, at least. 

Before that, politics largely took rise from the propa- 
ganda proclaimed by General Jackson, that, "To the victors 
belong the spoils." Such politics, even as now practiced will 
also come into disuse. It will be a change indeed desired by all 
the world. 

But the greatest change will be the restoration of all 
Israel. That implies not only the Jews, but the Ten Lost 
Tribes also. The separation of the ten tribes in the time of 
Hosea took place one hundred and thirty-four years before 
Nebuchadnezzar stormed Jerusalem, put out the eyes of 
Zedekiah and carried the children of Jacob off to Babylon. 
Those Tribes constituted the greater part of Israel, nov/ 
assimilated with the Indo-European world, as Gentiles 
throughout the whole of Europe. They too, must be restored. 
Their restoration will come at the time of the close of the 
seventieth Jubilee in 1925 if we interpret correctly. When 
that time does come, there will be a Jubilee, indeed. 

The capture of Jerusalem by the British brought about 
the passing of the City of David from Turkish to British rule. 
In making Palestine a British dependency it added the 
determining chapter to the annals of that historical capital of 
Ancient Judea by connecting the house of David of ancient 
renown to that of David, Duke of Cornwall, now Prince of 
Wales, heir to the British throne. 

After the reign of King David, the greatest ruler Israel 



NEW BIRTH FROM A MOSIAC VIEW 205 

ever had, and Solomon, his son, (1018-978 B. C.) on down 
the Hst to the year 606 B. C, when Zedekiah lost his throne 
tradition connects the line of the ten lost tribes with the Celtic 
kings of Old Erin, by a marriage of Tea-Tephi, a daughter of 
Zedekiah to Eremon, the first king of Ireland. That was the 
beginning of that long line of Erin's monarchs on down to 
Hy Niall of the Nine Hostages, famous in the annals of the 
history of Old Tara, and of his grand son, Fergus, the first 
Irish king of Scotland, also the grand father of St. Columba, 
who established Presbyterianism in the North of Ireland in 
the sixth century as Ulsterites have it to this day. 

From Fergus to James I of Scotland and VI of 
England, the history of that line of kings with its coronation 
stone, the Lial-fail, or stone of destiny brought from Jeru- 
salem after the reign of Zedekiah, continues to the present, 
heir to the British crown, connecting the two Davids in line 
with the prophecy of the House of Israel. 

The coronation chair stands in the Confessor's chapel in 
the Westminster Abbey and contains beneath its seat the 
stone, on which all the kings of Ireland were crowned. 

Thus will come to pass, the rule over Zion from David 
of the house of Israel, to David of the house of England, that 
the reign should be under David forever. With all the 
political rights of Israel restored as it was in the days of the 
Judges, the cry will go forth again as it did before by the two 
prophets. "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the 
Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us 
of his ways. And we will walk in his paths, for the law shall 
go forth of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." 

A compelling moral influence is bringing all of these 
results about. It is that kind of power President Wilson 



206 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Speaks of, which is to function in Article X, it being a moral 
not a legal force, that will bring the required result. Because 
of that moral force, therefore, nothing is to be feared from 
any power on earth however great or dangerous may be their 
sinister motives. With a consensus of opinion from a worlds 
congress, that would legislate for universal peace, let the 
Senate ratify at once. After ratification, the work of the 
mandatories can then begin. Efforts for peace and right- 
eousness will also then avail. Then, also it can be said: "And 
it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the 
Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, 
and shall be exalted above the hills and all the nations shall 
flow unto it." 



CHAPTER XIII 

THE EVOLUTION OF A GLORIOUS NATION 

We know not when the restitution of all things will 
take place, but the Restoration of Israel is near at hand. 
Both sacred and profane history have revealed that great 
truth absolutely, and the sure word of prophecy never makes 
mistakes. 

At the time appointed everything comes to pass in the 
Divine Plan of the Ages, as prophesied. The law was given 
to Moses after the covenant was made with Abraham, but 
it was four hundred and thirty years afterwards. The 
League of Nations was not to materialize until after the 
change of the Ages in 1870. Then only the time came for 
the evolution of that glorious result to begin. That was 
nearly fifty years ago. In seven years more the Jews will 
all have been returned to Palestine, for the seventieth and 
last Jubilee celebration, to close out the Old Era and bring 
in the New One. For ought we know, Christ may come at 
that time. We are sure of this, however, that after the full 
return of the children of Jacob to their inheritance in the 
Holy Land, then the Lord will fulfill his promise, as he said: 
*T will take you from among the nations and gather you 
out of all countries and will bring you into your own land. 
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall be 
clean from all your filthiness, and, from all your idols, I 
will cleanse you. A new heart will I also give you, and a 
new spirit will I put within you to cause you to walk in my 
statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them, and 
ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers and ye 
shall be my people, and I will be your God." (Ezek. 36:24-28.) 

207 



208 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

We could hardly imagine such a change of heart to fol- 
lovv^ a ratification of the League of Nations, nor could we 
be made believe war will follow after the above-named event 
takes place. No thirty-six millions of people then will be 
found arrayed against their neighbors as is now the case 
with the Italians against their Jugo-Slav brethren ; for in 
that day there wall be no sea ports and tariff laws to corner 
the markets of God's heritage. 

The evolution of this glorious Kingdom was the work 
of one of the greatest movements in the Divine Plan of the 
Ages. It was missionary from a political, as well as from a 
moral and spiritual point of view. As one under the direc- 
tion of an overruling Providence, it took its initiation at the 
time of the change of the Ages in 1870. Different streams 
of prophecies had crossed each other by that time prepara- 
tory to this work. The work to follow was to be the fulfill- 
ment of the promises of the New Covenant. It was not the 
Paris Peace Covenant, only in so far as that Conference ap- 
prehended spiritually. But it was the fulfillment of the 
Abrahamic Covenant spoken of in the thirty-seventh chapter 
of Ezekiel mentioned in particular in the last four verses. 

That great missionary movement was begun by God 
himself. Jews and Gentiles both had violated the Mosaic 
laws. So came this movement along lines of reconstruction 
in one case, and that of destruction in the other against un- 
belief and apostacy for the salvation of the Church. 

For twenty-five hundred years, the Jews were held in 
bondage preparatory to the time when this work should be 
commenced. The Gentiles during this same period of time 
were tested out, having also failed to keep the Mosaic law. 

But the Jews had already paid "double" for past viola-

tions of the Mosaic requirements and were now permitted to 
return Zionward fulfilling in the meantime the Fifty Jubilee 
Celebrations unobserved during those twenty-five hundred 
years while under bondage. 

During the years 1875- 1925, other reconstruction meth- 
ods were undertaken, for the regeneration of the life of the 
Church, which had allowed Mosaism to become undermined 
by many isms, and by Darwinism in particular. The foun- 
dation stone for this work had been laid first by John Wes- 
ley's Bible class called Sunday Schools afterwards. The 
revision of the Bible soon after the Civil War was followed 
by a world wide interpretation of Christian experience by 
Salvation Army lassies ; by an intelligent Gospel Temper- 
ance work, and by other Christian associations, brother- 
hoods and federations, all devoted to the cause of humanity. 
Then came the great clearance house of blood, levelling all 
hills and filling all valleys, making ready for the Church now 
being revived by the Centenary movement to re-establish 
family altars and carry the work through to completion. 

THE NEW KINGDOM 

That republics were to be the forerunners of the New 
Kingdom is evident. It was in the days of these kings of 
dynasties, when God set up His kingdom. It was done by 
Republics dashing nations to pieces as a potters vessel. 
Dan. 2:44. Then after thrones had been cast down, as 
Daniel foresaw — Dan. 7:9 — ^The House of Jacob and Judah 
were united under one reign for the New Kingdom ; the ten 
lost tribes of Israel becoming joined with the two tribes of 
Judah and Benjamin, never again to become separated. 
Ezek. 37:16-21. 



210 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

Herein we have Israel, as those Gentile strangers spok 
en of in the first verse of the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah, 
cleaving to the House of Jacob, Divine Love being able lo 
search out its own in an ethical relationship beyond the ken 
of the "human mind. It then came to pass that the Lord lifted 
up His hand to the Gentiles also, for them to come too. 
[Isa. 43:5-6; Isa. 49:22; Isa. 27:12-13.] 

THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. 

The time had now come for old things to pass away, 
and everything to become new again. A destruction of all 
things not destined to remain are now to become destroyed. 
So the prophet tells us twice in the same words (Jer. 30:11 ; 
46:28) that the old Democratic Commonwealth of Israel in 
these last times is to supercede all governments. 

Monarchy had been destroyed to this end; but Prussian 
militarism and Bolshevism remain. It is a case of King 
Saul's disobedience over again. No peace can endure while 
that spirit of domination is not destroyed. There are those 
four giant nations of Europe yet to be pacified. Also those 
terrifying discomfitting commotions so threatening to the 
life of our Republic that must be made to give way before 
a righteous kingdom can be set up. 

But a kind Providence has commissioned the great Cath- 
olic Church to assist in the adjustment of one of the great- 
est difficulties of the present age. The League of Nations 
gave birth to an International Conference, at which dele- 
gates from forty-five nations are now discussing relations 
of labor to capital. The Church also for the first time has 
convened to aid in the solution of that question out of which 
will come issues for the evolution of a safer Democracy. And 



EVOLUTION OF A GLORIOUS NATION 211 

altho in those many different contending forces dangers to 
good government will still arise, yet glorious results are ex- 
pected by the time the Restoration takes place in 1925. 

In the coming Restoration, sight should not be lost of 
the things that are to be restored to the Gentiles as well as 
to the Jews. As children of Abraham the promise is to them, 
as his seed, also. [Gal. 3:7-8.] In part that restoration has 
already taken place. See Chapter XIL It has all been pre- 
paratory to the millennial era yet to come. As preparatory 
to that far greater era the Old Commonwealth of Democratic 
rule by the cycles, is now being set up with its Holy Sabbath 
days, its pentecostal feasts, and with its jubilee celebrations 
every fiftieth year, in accordance with the rule over Israel 
by Cycles, and in compliance also with the demands of 
prophecy. [Isa. 1 126.] It was the non-observance of those 
seventh days of rests, God's anger was raised against His 
people, who now are being restored. And the same sword, 
famine and pestilence have come upon the Gentile world be- 
cause of that same disobedience — and because of the desecra- 
tion of Sabbath days of rests. But now a new era is nigh. 
The Jews having paid double for their sins and iniquities, 
are returning with songs, singing all the way, holding fast as 
they march Zionward to all the Mosaic requirements of the 
old dispensation. And the Gentiles, churches animated by 
the spirit of the centenary movement, are gathering strength 
as a religious body, out of which will come prophecies for 
the new dispensation of very great moment. In the course 
of that movement during the coming five years God will put 
His spirit into the hearts of His people and all will know 
Him, from the least to the greatest. Then when the Church 
puts on her glorious vestments, those fourteen points, so

much talked about at this time, will function of themselves, 
and not until then. 

After the rule of the New Kingdom begins, perfect 
peace will reign over all the nations of the earth. There will 
be no more crying nor weeping, for God shall be in the midst 
of His people. Then children will become princes and babes 
will rule over them. The lion will eat straw like the ox, the 
cow and the bear will feed together, the wolf will be found 
dwelling with the lamb, the leopard lying down with the kid, 
the child playing in the hole of the asp, and the sucking child 
with his hand on the cocatrice den. For the earth shall be full 
of the knowledge of the Lord, and nothing shall hurt or de- 
stroy in all His holy mountain. Isa. ii :i-ii. 



CHAPTER XIV 

MOSES ON MOUNT NEBO. 

Then Moses went up on Mount Nebo to see the land of 
Canaan, and the Lord said to him : "This is the land I swear 
unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, saying: 1 will 
give it to thy seed ; I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes. 
but thou shalt not go over thither." Deut. 34:4. 

Then Moses died and was gathered to his fathers, and 
no man knoweth the place of his sepulcher to this day. 

Moses had been a faithful servant, but having tres- 
passed at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, his earthly career 
was to end and another was to lead the children over Jordan 
into Canaan. 

Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when the 
Lord said to him that he must die. His eye had not grown 
dim, nor his natural force abated. Nevertheless, could he 
have viewed the land of Canaan from Jericho to the seacoast 
and from Mount Ararat to the plains of Moab where he was 
buried, the view would not have equalled the one given him 
by the Lord. For Moses had a prophetic vision. 

For forty years Moses had longed to see the land he had 
written so much about. He had written about things hidden 
in past history and things to come of which Christ said: 
"Those things concerning me must all be fulfilled." 
Luke 24:24. 

"There was no other prophet," says Holy Writ, "in 
Israel, whom the Lord knew face to face," but Moses had 
transgressed in the Wilderness of Zin, and the Lord is no 
respecter of persons. 

213 



214 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

In that day Canaan was a land of corn and wine, and 
noted for its milk and honey. Centuries afterward it became 
a howling wilderness, a desert waste and a land that would 
not grow grass. As the Mosaic vision gives it, it became a 
land of brimstone, salt and burning. Deut. 29:23. And it 
so remained with the wrath of God resting on it, until Israel 
had been punished "double". Isa. 40 :2. 

After Moses was told he must die he called Israel to- 
gether and gave them a charge. They were reminded of 
God's care over them from the time of their deliverance from 
Egyptian bondage, and during their forty years' sojourn 
through the wilderness, having had clothing on their backs 
and shoes on their feet that had not waxen old in all that time. 

The remembrance of those things should have chastened 
the children into obedience, but it did not. So Moses told 
them plainly that after he was gone they would forget God 
and then God would forget them. That they would be led 
off into sin and then God would hide his face from them, and 
until they would say: "Are not these evils come upon us 
because our God is not among us?" Deut. 31:17. 

They were also told that God would scatter them among 
all the Gentile nations of the earth, and until they would be- 
come an astonishment, a proverb and a by-word, and all of 
these things did come to pass during the dark ages of Europe. 

And Moses said again: "The Lord shall scatter thee 
among all the people from one end of the earth unto the 
other." Deut. 28:15. 

German philosophers and agnostics of the Ingersoll type 
have credited Moses as having been a past master of big 
mistakes, but the prophet told the future very well, we think. 



MOSES ON MOUNT NEBO 215 

The Lord was a little slow, maybe, but not slack, in 
fulfilling his promises. It was over fifteen hundred years 
before Jerusalem was razed to the ground, and the Jews of 
Palestine scattered throughout Gentile kingdoms, as the 
prophet said it would be. But Moses made no mistakes. In 
70 A. D., Titus, the Roman general, after destroying Jeru- 
salem, killed and carried off into captivity from Palestine, 
1,300,000 Jews, and dispersed them everywhere. 

After that the children served other gods, which neither 
they nor their fathers had known, even gods of wood and 
stone, v 64. 

But Jehovah's anger was not always to remain. At the 
time appointed, Moses said, God would have compassion, and 
then their captivity would be turned, and Israel would be 
gathered again. Other prophets also gave the same assur- 
ances. Moses said God would gather together his people 
from all the nations whither they had been scattered. Deut. 
30:1-5. After they had been gathered then the Lord would 
make them plenteous in every good work. He would mul- 
tiply their seed and do them good. Since the War of 1870 
these promises have been fulfilling very fast. That war 
opened the door for the Zionist movement, since which time 
good things have been coming to the Jews from every source 
and direction, until the gift of Palestine as a home land by 
the British government just made. So many have been the 
good prophecies fulfilled during the past fifty years, even 
Colonel Ingersoll should have been convinced of the authen- 
ticity of the Old Testament Scriptures. 

Then what was it Moses went up Mount Nebo for to 
see? When the Lord took him up into the Mount to show 



2l6 BIRTH OF THE NEXT NATION 

him Canaan from Dan to Gilead and from Judah to the 
uttermost sea, was it to behold the beautiful vales and hill- 
tops more than muddy lakes and millponds, or was he to have 
a prophetic vision of the land after the restoration of Israel, 
also? 

Of all the prophets, Moses was the only one chosen for 
the preservation of his race. He was with his Jehovah God 
forty days on Mount Sinai, and after coming down from 
the Mount, remained on his face forty days and nights before 
God that God might not destroy Israel by his wrath. And 
would God commune with such a prophet on Mount Nebo 
without giving him a vision of the promises now materializ- 
ing, as the burden of Israel had been on him for the restora- 
tion of his people? 

Five hundred years before Moses was hidden in the 
bulrushes, Abram set out for a land he knew not, but to pitch 
his tent in Canaan, and to become the father of nations. 
Moses saw him build his altar on Mt. Moriah, where Solo- 
mon's temple afterwards stood, and there by an act of faith, 
give birth to righteousness by belief in God. Therefore, when 
Moses saw Mount Moriah, where the altar stood for Isaac, 
Abraham's son, it suggested the time when he, with Israel 
restored, would sit down in the kingdom of God with Abra- 
ham and Isaac and Jacob, and with angels having harps in 
their hands, sing anew the song of Moses, and with Israel 
there also to join in a poean of joy. 

Where Abraham built his altar, now stands the Mosque 
of Omar, a Mohammedan temple which has confounded the 
moon and put the sun to shame, lo! these many centuries, 
and with that prophetic vision before him, instead of beau-

tif ul vales and mountain tops to think about, nothing less than 
a future time to come when the life of man was to be that 
of a tree, when there would be no more an infant of days, but 
the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed, engaged 
his attention. 

Looking back after the crossing of the Red Sea he saw 
Miriam playing on her timbrels, and singing the song of 
Moses: "For horse and rider had been overthrown, and 
Israel had triumphed gloriously." Likewise, when from the 
top of Pisgah's heights he had seen Prussian autocracy de- 
feated, the divine right of kings by limitation ended, the 
Belshazzar-Hohenzollern kings of Gentile dominion swal- 
lowed up in the birth of a new freedom, the way of the 
Euphrates to the New Palestine dried up, and Jerusalem, 
the city of solemnities, sitting triumphantly as the queen of 
the world after the Lord had wrought his fury on the nations 
round about, and the children of Jacob returned to Palestine, 
where they and their children and their children's children 
will remain forever, that was what Moses saw from Pisgah's 
heights on the day Jehovah took him up the mountain to be- 
hold the land from Dan to Gilead and from Judah to the 
utmost sea.
